After a partial 2023 campaign on a Honda, highlighted by a pair of podiums at Brands Hatch, the 2015 Moto3 wor🦋ld champion was keen to get to know his new team and bike.

Day one wa🐲s spent familiarising himself with the R1 before the team introduced various parts over the following days.

“Itꦰ’s been a gr🍸eat four days’ testing here in Spain, I’ve loved riding the McAMS Racing R1,” said Kent. “A strong relationship with a team is always positive and I feel like we’ve got off to a strong start there.

“I’ve done lots of l💟aps on the bike this week and I’m really starting to gel with the R1; it’s starting to feel like my bike now.

“Overall, it’s been a very good test and I’m very happy so a huge thanks to Mar-Train for organising the test this winter as we’ve🦋 really benefitted from doing this.”

Kent is not the only new arrival at🍎 Mar-Train with Chris Anderson joining the squad as crew chief from the former BSB-wꦦinning Raceways McAMS Yamaha team.

“It’s been nice to get Danny on the bike again after Bishopscourt as there w💜asn’t a huge amount to learn there as the conditions weren’t great and we’ve built a whole new bike for this test,” Anderso🔯n said.

“We got through a lot of test parts to give us a bit of a direction for 2024 and learned what Danny likes, what he doesn’t like etc and how he works as a rider. Now we’ll head back to the🐷 workshop where we’ve a few things to work on as we get ready for 2024.”

With the BSB test ban starting on January 1 until April, the team’s next outing will be the official BSB te💫st at Donington Park in early April.
