Britain's leading 125GP riders Bradley Smith and Scott Redding were thrird and fourth fastest on day two of a brightening test session at Valencia. They were beaten by Julian Simon and Sergio Gadea.
"We have not had the best weather here but I am happy because I'm starting to find myself comfortable with the bike," said Redding.
"The engine is beginning to give more and it shows that myself and the team are finding the best settings. I am satisfied because I have done a lot oflaps, I've been at the front and I had good pace. "
Britain's third rider Danny Webb doesn't yet have bikes available to him, so is concentrating on his training regime.
