American Rossi Attila Moor tests with a new chief engineer at the official FIM JuniorGP Moto2 test in Jerez
On May 15–16, Jerez hosted the second official test of the season for teams competing in the FIM JuniorGP Moto2 category.
Following the season-opening race at Estoril (which saw Rossi struggle with set-up), Team MMR and Révész Racing decided that a change in the technical staff was necessary: for the remainder of the season, they will continue with a new chief engineer, the Italian Massimo Biagini.
Biagini is one of the most highly regarded engineers in the Moto2 category, having previously worked with teams such as Federal Oil Gresini Moto2 and Team Sprint Technology. He has extensive experience in engine control and electronic settings, which are crucial for optimizing racing machine performance and adapting them to the riders’ styles.
Although Biagini was only able to join the team on the evening of the first test day, by the second day he had already found common ground with Rossi. As a result of their collaboration, they managed to find settings that allowed the young Hungarian-American rider to consistently improve his lap times.
During the test, the team paid special attention to fine-tuning issues that arose during the Estoril race—such as braking distances and acceleration—which they successfully resolved.
The team eagerly looks forward to the next race weekend, which will also take place in Jerez on June 1.
