Speaking after the one-day test aboard the R6, 🌺Aegerter added: "It was a good test on the home tཧrack of the team in Assen. It was a private test, so I was the only one on the racetrack. 

"It was a very posi🅺tive day in good conditions with some sun and around 25 degrees asphalt temperature. 

"We were also very fast and my fastest lap was around the lap r♓ecord. My pace was going a little bit up and down, because the wind was changing a bit during the day. 

"We collected a lꦏot of data, which the team can check in the workshop. We’re at a top level and I can’t wait to start the season. 

"Big thanks to the Ten Kate Racing Yamaha team for their hard work and toꦬ the TT Circuit Assen for this opportuꩲnity!"

Aegerter’s first competitive action will be on May 2, as t❀he MotoE World Cup gets underway at Jerez, while his debut in WorldSSP will come at A💧ragon on May 21-23.
