GT TREVISAN SPEEDUP

THE BUDDH INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT HOSTS THE INDIA GRAND PRIX FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE MOTORBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP

The Buddh International Circuit opened its doors today to the first Indian Grand Prix, marking an important date in the World Motorcycle Championship.

But the news doesn’t end there because Team SpeedUp has landed in India exclusively wearing the colors of GT Trevisan, a company founded in 1963 which created their profession from their passion for machine tools.

For the GT Trevisan SpeedUp riders, the new track was immediately fun to tackle but at the same time very treacherous. In fact, at the end of the first day of free practice, Alonso López and Fermín Aldeguer placed themselves in P16 and P23 respectively in the combined classification.

The first free practice session, which lasted 55 minutes, allowed Alonso and his team to try different configurations in Boscoscuro in order to gain greater confidence in a completely new circuit. In fact, the number 21 stopped in the pits several times to work on setting up the bike. P14 at the end of the first test with a time of 1’54.124.

For the Madrilean rider the afternoon was more difficult. Despite the crash halfway through the second test, the number 21 continued free practice, progressively trying to find the right rhythm. P16 in the combined ranking with a time of 1’52.986.

Even for Fermín and his team the first free practice session was mainly used to test the track through small changes to his Boscoscuro at each pit stop. For the number 54 rider, the morning ended with ups and downs with the twenty-third time in 1’54.805, maintaining the same position at the end of the day in 1’53.602.

LÓPEZ #21: 16 in 1’52.986

“Today’s practice could have gone better but we needed to try different variations. Thanks to today’s sessions, tomorrow we will face the new circuit with much clearer ideas”.

ALDEGUER #54: 23° in 1’53.602

“Today didn’t go very well but obviously it’s more complicated on a new track where we have no experience. We must continue to work to find the best solution.”
