Abaja tested in Valencia today

To understanding of the situation we must go back few moments ago: First, team Cardion AB Motoracing not only signed a contract with Aprilia, but they paid as first. The first tests approached, as occurred in the media reports on completion of the project Aprilie Moto2. After meeting of Czech team manager, Karel Abraham in Noale, the Cardion mechanics went directly to Noale, and they assembled together motorcycle there, which is now in Noale ready to start. But it has one problem: Do not go anywhere with him in testing and is not practical to leave the factory.
Of course, since there were numbers of tenders using the chcasis of designers from Moto2 and also from many renowned stables offer of Karel Abraham as a rider.
But management of Team Brno Cardion AB Motoracing decided to go to their own way and provided for chassis British company FTR this test at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia (which do need frames for the entire KTM) and Karel Abraham drove about 30 laps now also.

Very satisfied owner of the team, Karel Abraham,said about today's test : "We have available a rough prototype, but Karel become accustomed to him very quickly. Bike is quite fast and very fit to Karel even in size. However, Karel rode on the German Kalexu (he used to be by Pons´ team) to determine the differences between chassis. We will test more in Valencia tomorrow and then we go to another circuit Almeria Spain.
Mechanic of Brno team move after tests to Noale where he will remove Aprilia chassis of both engine and electronics and these components are already used in Monday's and Tuesday's tests in Almeria, of course the chassis from the British company FTR
