Britain's Danny Webb will start his pre-season test programme tomorrow at Portugal's Portimao circuit after only having one a couple of laps on the Aprilia 125cc bike at his team's home track of Assen.

It will be Webb's first crack at the works De Graaf Aprilia RSA 125GP bike and he is joined by new team-mate Randy Krummenacher who replaces Steve Bonsey.

Webb reckons that even though his team is behind in terms of track time, most of the other teams have had to test in bad weather, so the Portugal test plus Jerez in a few weeks' time is more than enough to get up to speed.
