Red Bull KTM Ajo undertake first test of the year in Almeria
Red Bull KTM Ajo began preseason this week in Almeria. The three riders chosen by the team for the 2013 campaign -Spaniard Luis Salom, Malaysian Zulfahmi Khairuddin and Australian Arthur Sissis- finished their three days of testing on the new KTM today.
After a winter break of over two months, Salom, Khairuddin and Sissis had an intense trio of days in the first runout on their KTM bikes. Making the most of the fine weather in Andalusia, the riders gained confidence and regained a feel for the machinery.
Without the pressure of timing, the Red Bull KTM Ajo team had a positive test focused on familiarisation and setup, undertaking over 100 laps each.
Salom, Khairuddin and Sissis will continue testing next week in an official Moto3 test in Valencia, at the Ricardo Tormo circuit, from 12-14th of February.
Luis Salom: "We’ve had three very good days of testing in Almeria, where we have ridden this year’s bike for the first time. Our feeling is positive, and day by day both I and the team will get more experience in order to understand the machine better. For a first test, we are happy with the times. We had the chance to try various things and I want to thank the team for their work. The next tests will be in Valencia and we will continue to try setups there in order to gradually improve performance."
Arthur Sissis: "It’s been good to get on the bike again after the winter break. These three days have been very important for learning the bike for this year. We tried a lot of new things. In the end we found a good setup, but this was our first time riding here and it took a while to get used to the track. I think that we have the bike prepared enough for Valencia and I hope that we can go faster there."
Zulfahmi Khairuddin: "These have been three very good days for us. We began work with the new bike and learnt a few things. We have also seen what works best. In any case, we still have a lot of things to try and I also have to work on improving my riding. I think it is positive that we came here to do a test and that we have been able to put in some laps. I can’t wait for Valencia next week."

Zulfahmi Khairuddin's profile

He steps into the Red Bull KTM Ajo team for 2013, where he will no doubt be a serious title contender. Last edited by xpdckelate on 11-2-2013 02:00 AM

Luis Salom's profile
Luis Salom developed his talents in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, missing out on the 2008 title by just four points and placing runner-up in the Spanish national championship that same year. In 2009 he came into the WRB team to replace Simone Corsi and rode 12 GPs, finishing in the points five times. His first full season in 2010 saw him riding for the Lambretta Reparto Corse team, placing 12th overall, after which he switched to RW Racing GP. He finished 8th in 2011 and remained with the team for his assault on the Moto3 Championship where he came runner-up after some terrific performances. This earned him a step up to the factory Red Bull KTM Ajo team, with which he competes for in 2013. |

"Aki did a fantastic job with the factory team in our first year back in MotoGP competition in the new Moto3 category. He pushed us hard to reach a very high level. He asked the right questions and wanted the right materials. We developed the bike in record time and the results speak for themselves. That we were able to take the team to such a high level and win the Moto3 World Championship with Sandro Cortese and take the manufacturer’s title was a remarkable result."
KTM welcomed Ajo this week at the headquarters of KTM Motorsports to formerly settle the already agreed verbal agreement. He also visited the factory and had in-depth discussions with technical staff. The team has been analyzing and testing the 2013 factory bike prototype with Spanish rider Luis Salom and already have a very fast bike with which to work, Beirer confirmed.
