Barcelona-based World Championship team Blusens BQR has undertaken two days of testing with its Honda Moto2 machine at Valencia’s Ricardo Tormo, as it builds momentum with the fledgling project.

Following a recent first test with the bike at the Castellolí Motor Park circuit (Barcelona) the team’s Spanish national championship (CEV) rider Dani Rivas stepped up the development programme with the machine at the Valencia track on Monday and Tuesday.

Working on various aspects of the bike Rivas found a regular high 1:37 and low 1:38 rhythm, with his best time registered as 1:36.85, close to CEV Supersport pace.

Blusens BQR staff were highly satisfied with the work undertaken, with no technical faults or on-track incidents hindering their development schedule and with plenty of data collected over the two days.

“I’m happy with how things went and pleasantly surprised by how well the bike responded, as it appeared to be faster than Supersport machinery and more aggressive," Rivas said. "The brakes are superb and you can brake harder and later. Given that and the fact that it is so light means it is great on corners.”

The next Blusens BQR test with the Honda Moto2 machine is due to take place in the middle of March.
