The 2023 season of the MotoE with the Ducati VXNUMXL reached the second and final test, before the official start of the championship at Le Mans. Testing at the Barcelona track has ended and at the top of the standings is a familiar name, while a new name is making waves.
At the Barcelona circuit, the riders of the MotoGP 2023 electric world championship are back on track with the new Ducati MotoE, the V21L, after the test a month ago in Jerez.
The three-day test of the FIM Enel MotoE World Championship at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya concluded with Eric Granado (LCR E-Team) continuing his streak of top placings in the timesheets. The Brazilian's best lap was 1:47.221, while Nicholas Spinelli (Pons Racing 40) won the race simulation on the third day.
The race simulation took place in the early afternoon of the last day, when the riders lined up on the starting grid and took part in a seven-lap race as a warm-up for the start of the season at the FrenchGP.
Randy Krummenacher (Dynavolt Intact GP MotoE) and Mattia Casadei (Pons Racing 40) passed under the checkered flag in P2 and P3, two seconds behind Spinelli, but not all riders showed their full potential.
As for the combined classification of the top five on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the winner of race one, Spinelli, set the second fastest time, 0,189s behind Granado. Mattia Casadei, Matteo Ferrari (Felo Gresini MotoE) and Andrea Mantovani (RNF MotoE Team) completed the fastest quintet, split by 0,642 seconds, on their Ducati V21Ls.
