Arbolino tops private Moto3™ Valencia test
Italian fastest across the two days in Spain as 13 lightweight class riders put in the work before the Official Jerez Test
Snipers Team’s Tony Arbolino finished top of the standings at the private Moto3™ test in Valencia that took place on 5-6 February. 2019 Valencia GP winner Sergio Garcia (Estrella Galicia 0,0) and Kömmerling Gresini’s Gabriel Rodrigo rounded out the top three at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo.
