The three-day test weekend in Oschersleben has come to a close, and it proved to be a highly valuable and educational start to the season. The test provided the perfect opportunity to get familiar with the team, the bike, and the circuit, with a mix of highs and lows that contributed to a strong overall preparation for the first race.

Day one was focused on organization and setup. After completing administrative checks, technical inspections, and receiving all necessary equipment, we continued with various media activities, including professional photoshoots and video productions. Later in the day, I had my first chance to explore the circuit and complete the Cooper test — a solid and productive start.

The second day began with promising test sessions, but changing weather conditions presented new challenges. Unfortunately, a crash in the rain meant the bike needed extensive repairs. Thanks to the incredible efforts of my mechanic Joey, the bike was fully ready to go again the next day. Although I couldn’t continue riding that day, the setback only fueled my motivation to return even stronger.

The final day featured two full race simulations. In the first, I suffered another crash, but in the second simulation, I delivered a strong comeback — starting from P16 and fighting my way up to finish P5, battling for a podium position right until the final lap. It was a great way to round off the weekend and see clear progress in both pace and consistency.

This test has given us valuable data, confidence, and momentum heading into the start of the season. I’d like to extend a big thank you to my team, especially Joey and Arnold, as well as to my parents and everyone who supported me throughout the weekend.
