Niklas Ajo successfully concludes first week of testing

After two long months off a Grand Prix bike, Niklas Ajo had a first preseason test in Valencia that finished on Thursday. The Avant Tecno KTM rider made a positive return at the Circuito Ricardo Tormo with three days of testing. It was a positive feeling after the leg injury that he had in the winter, and the test allowed him to debut the KTM bike with which he will participate this year in the World Championship.The Finn waited until 11.00 am in the morning to take to the track in Valencia. Finally avoiding the strong winds, Ajo waited for track temperatures to rise before his first laps.  He put in 27 laps in the first session, improving his best time from yesterday to 1'41.609.In the second session of the morning, exclusively for the Moto3 grid, Niklas continued taking steps forward on his return to the track, lowering his best time by 4 tenths. He stopped the clock at 1'41.250 after another 13 laps.The preseason continues and, on Tuesday of next week, Niklas Ajo will ride at the Circuito de Jerez in three days of official testing.Results1.
