From KTM Racing

VALENCIA, SPAIN -- Not only Red Bull KTM factory rider Randy Krummenacher but also riders from KTM-supported teams were out in force at the just concluded 125cc three-day tests in Valencia.

Krummenacher of Switzerland said he was satisfied with the work and the tests.

"We went harder on the second day and put in some good lap times," he said. "On day three we made some good steps with the chassis and I was easily able to put in a 40.6 lap time, which was faster than in the GP in Valencia last year."

Tomoyoshi Koyama, still on a KTM but in 2008 racing for the KTM-supported Seedorf Team wound up both day two and three with the fastest time in the final hour of testing.

"We had some chattering and sliding early in the tests but we made some adjustments to the front setting and it improved a lot," he said. "I was able to go a second faster and was able to clock 1:39.7 constantly."

Other KTM riders on the circuit were Marc Marquez (Repsol KTM), Koyama's teammate at Seedorf Lorenzo Zanetti and Rafaele de Rosa and Pablo Nieto of Team Scott.
