"After a long break in the winter, riding with MotoGP is crazy. I think we do very good work and we can stay calm."

Fermin Aldeguer has completed his second test as a MotoGP rider and his first test of the year. The 2025 MotoGP rookie was able to participate in the Sepang Shakedown Test across the weekend.

Adapting from Moto2 to MotoGP can take some riders a long time, but after four days of riding the Ducati GP24, his adaptation is still a work in progress.

"I can stay happy because we work in a good way," Aldeguer said at the Sepang Shakedown.

"All the laps we improve something on the bike, on the setting, also on my riding style.

"The first day was very difficult because this bike is so fast. After a long break in the winter, riding with MotoGP is crazy. I think we do very good work and we can stay calm."

At the start of the Sepang Shakedown Aldeguer was setting lap times in the two-minute range. However, come the third, and final, day of the opening test he was in the 1:58's.

"I’m not focused on the lap time now because at the end we have to do two seconds faster to arrive at the pole position record," Aldeguer said.

"But all the laps I try to improve the riding style, I felt to be a little bit more aggressive, also, for this bike.

"At the end, I think I need time, only, to do laps, to understand better where I can improve.

"I have to understand better also the tyres, but in this point, we are very happy because I use very well the rear tyre and I have to understand a little bit better the front for the brakes."
