After a partial 2♊023 campaign on a Honda, highlighted by a pair of podiums at Brands Hatch, the 2015 Moto3 world champion was keen to get to know his new team and bike.

Day one was spent familiarising himself with the R1 before th♊e team introduced various parts over the following days.

“It’s been a great four days’ testing here in Spain, I’ve loved riding the McAMS Racing R1,” said Kent. “A strong relationship with a team is always positive and I feel like we’ve got off to a strong start ✃there꧋.

“I’ve done lots of laps on the bike this w⛄𓆏eek and I’m really starting to gel with the R1; it’s starting to feel like my bike now.

“Overall, it’s been a very good test and I’m very happy so a huge thanks to Mar-Train for or𝔉ganising the test this winter as we’ve really benefitted from doing this.”

Kent is not the only new arrival at Mar-Train with Chris Anderson joining the squad as cre🌌w chief from the former BSB-w𒁏inning Raceways McAMS Yamaha team.

“It’s been nice to get Danny on the bike again after Bishopscourt as there wasn’t a huge amount to learn there as the con𓄧ditions weren’t great and weღ’ve built a whole new bike for this test,” Anderson said.

“We got through a lot of test parts to give us a bit of a direction for 2024 and learn𒊎ed what Danny likes, what he doesn’t like etc and how he works as a rider. Now we’ll head back to the workshop where we’ve a few things tওo work on as we get ready for 2024.”

With the BSB test ban starting on January 1ꦕ until April, the team’s next outing will be the official BSB test at Dꦇonington Park in early April.
