It was a very intense second day of testing on the Valencia track for the riders and teams MotoE World Cup. The program included two free practice sessions and the Epole. In the first session, FP3, the riders started from the starting grid, the following Epole was held in superpole style, while FP4 started once again from the starting grid. All this has been designed to prepare the riders for the race simulation on Wednesday 20 June and for the first round of the world championship: the Sachsenring GP on 7 July.
In FP3 the fastest was Hector Garzo of the Tech3 E-Racing team, who anticipated Eric Granado of the Avinta Racing team by 84 thousandths. Third the Finnish Niki Tuuli of the Ajo team. Immediately among the first Bradley Smith, fifth, despite the fact that he did not take part in the first two test sessions due to the concomitance of the MotoGP tests in Barcelona in which the English rider was engaged with Aprilia.
Epole saw the same three riders ahead, with Hector Garzo ahead of Eric Granado by 25 thousandths and Niki Tuuli by 8 tenths. Mattia Casadei of the Sic58 team could have finished third if he hadn't run into a penalty on the return lap which cost him the cancellation of the timed lap.
In the last session of the day the best times dropped further. The fastest was the Englishman Bradley Smith ahead of Hector Garzo and Mattia Casadei.
At the top of the bad luck ranking, Randy De Puniet, of the LCR E-team. The French rider was the victim of the second high-side in two days, in the same corner. Bruised rider but fit to take part in the closing test race, while the bike needed a lot of work in the pits, including battery replacement.
