The top three in this year’s Moto3 Wor📖ld Championship were separated by less than a tenth of a season at the end of their Moto2 debuts in a private Jerez test.

But t✱he trio were ranked in reverse Moto3 title order.

New Red Bull KTM Ajo rider Collin Veijer was fifth overall on th🌱e timesheets, but a fraction ahead of Dani Holgado. New Aspar rider Holgado was in turn 0.022s clear of new team-mate and record-breaking Moto3 champion David Alonso.

All three Kalex riders were 0.9s behind the best lap by Veijer’s team-mate🌳 Deniz Oncu.

"I think we had a productive two days,” said Veijer. “We improved a lot on many things. [The first] morning was a bitꦕ difficult, because it is a new bik𝕴e, so we need to get used to it, but during the day we made a lot of progress.

“I'm very happy with the team and𒈔 with the people I'm working with. We did a great job and we started to create a good base for next year."

Holgado, a distant second to Alonso in Moto3 thiওs seaso🎃n, completed 149 laps.

“We have made a great job,” said the Spaniard. “I have had a very good feeling in my debut in Moto2, I have gradually gained co൩nfidence with the bike. I am very 🉐happy with all the work we have done, and I am going home wanting for more.

“This bike is very fun, but I will have to wait a 𓄧couple of months to try it again. I am sure they will go by quickly because we are going to start preparing right away. I want to thank the team for how they have welcomed me and how hard they have worked; I hope they can rest this winter.”

Alonso, who broke Valentino Rossi’s record with 14 wins this year, plans to work on his strengthꩲ for the bigger 765cc Triumph-powered machine.

“It has been a very positive test, we are going into the winter break happy because we now know what Moto2 is,” Alonso said after 145 laps. “We ha♒ve seen that it is not an easy category, we will have to work and be consistent. We have also detected that I must work on my strength during this winter.

“I was happy to be faster on my first day with the Moto2 than I had been with the Moto3. With this bike you have fun, you must look for things that you didn’t look for o🔯n the Moto3 and that makes riding more fun.”

Meanwhile, Oncu, 20th with one podium in his rookie Moto2 campaign, wra🌺pped up this year’s 🥃Moto2 activities on a high.

"It was a very positiꦰve test, we did a lot of work today and we tried a lot of different things. We have a good base for next year and we were really fast as well,” said the Turkish rider.

“It will be a long winter break and entering it feeling good is really ni﷽ce. We are happy with these results, so thanks to the team for all of their energy this year."

World Supersport champion Adrian Huertas was second fastest (+0.3s) of the riders testing, with new Pramac riders Iꦰzan Guevara and Tony Arbolino third and fourth on the Boscoscuro chassis.
