AIRASIA-SIC-AJO rider, Muhammad Zulfahmi Khairuddin had an unlucky day at the office when he crashed out on day 2 of the second pre-season tests in Circuito de Jerez, Spain, yesterday.
Fahmi, who failed to set a lap time for the first time during the two test sessions in Valencia followed by Jerez, escaped unharmed and will be raring to start on the final day today.
“I was quite unlucky today, but thankfully I managed to escape any serious injury. It was a minor injury and I will be hoping it heals in time for the final day of testing tomorrow (today),” said Fahmi.
Sepang International Circuit Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Razlan Razali was alarmed by the incident and hoped Fahmi would recover in time for today’s session.
“Fahmi is a bit shaken by the incident but thankfully he has escaped from any serious injury. I hope that he will recover in time for today’s session.
“We are hoping that he will bounce back by setting a good lap time for the final day of testing,” added Razlan.
It was quite an eventful day, with a high number of collisions, two produced a red flag, the first of which was that of Alberto Moncayo (Bankia Aspar), the rider who reported the second best time yesterday.
After only six laps, the Spanish rider crashed in turn 6 after which he spent several hours in the medical clinic after reporting dizziness. While eventually pronounced to be fine, he was advised to sit out the remainder of the day though he will return to the track tomorrow.
The second red flag appeared after Efren Vasquez (Team Laglisse) and Louis Rossi (Racing Team Germany) collided, both riders emerging unhurt. Also escaping injury was Brazilian rookie Eric Granado.
Danny Kent reappeared at the top of the list as the fastest rider on day two of the Official Test held at the Jerez circuit in Southern Spain.
The Red Bull KTM Ajo rider reported a lap time of 1‘47.5, followed by Maverick Viñales (Avintia Racing) who paced two tenths behind the Briton and Hector Faubel (Bankia Aspar) four tenths off Viñales in third.
Sandro Cortese followed up with the fourth quickest of the field, despite a carsh that ended the German rider’s day early, with Miguel Oliveira (Monlau Competición) rounding out the top five times.
