After a brief few days of rest, the Moto2 and Moto3 riders returned to action, this time heading further south to Jerez after last week's test at Valencia. At the end of the first day, unofficial timing saw Thomas Luthi fastest in the Moto2 class, while Danny Kent took the unofficial honors in Moto3.
The trek south helped with the track conditions, with the temperatures climbing a good deal above those at Valencia, despite a chilly start to the day which left most of the riders confined to their garages until well after 10:30am. Once testing got underway, the order established at Valencia was once again reaffirmed, with the Kalexes proving to be the bike to beat in Moto2, with a smattering of other fast riders on Suters and FTRs joining the fray. The day saw Thom Luthi officially on top, ahead of the Italtrans bikes of Claudio Corti and Takaaki Nakagami, while the Marc VDS riders Mika Kallio and Scott Redding were on the pace of Nakagami. Andrea Iannone was just a fraction off Redding's pace on the FTR Speed Up, while former Spanish champion Angel Rodriquez set the joint 7th fastest time, along with Alex de Angelis and Bradley Smith. Marc Marquez was once again absent, the Catalunya CX rider still not 100% recovered from his eye injury sustained at Sepang last year.
