In Moto 2 you start to get serious, with teams struggling with a new project to be developed to be competitive from the start. The Tech 3 team, led by the expert Herve Poncharal, will the next 21 and 22 January in Spain, Cadiz, at Jerez de la Frontera, to continue the task of refining its prototype. To indicate what the direction will be taken Raffaele De Rosa, a Neapolitan who wants to show his skill in riding a bike four times: "The test of pre-Christmas - says the boy Fuorigrotta - Valencia, were not very helpful because it rained two days out of three, and in the one where Jupiter Pluvia not told her there was a strong wind, the temperature of only three degrees. Despite everything, we returned home happy, because we have disconnected interesting times, which proves the good work of the technicians of the team. In the coming days we'll be the only team to run at Jerez, and our aim will be to improve the bike in general. To achieve this we will focus on geometry and weight distribution of the frame, to find the right compromise between stability and handling. Another aspect that will keep under control the dynamics of suspensions. Instead we have no way to work on the engine, because the official one will be delivered only in the month of February. Certainly the road to development is long, but this is not a disadvantage for us, indeed it is the beauty of this category. Turn on the track without points of reference, it is an extra stimulus to do better, and the increased responsibility that falls to us drivers, I see it as another challenge to win. "
