Taylor Happy With Valencia Test

Maxtra team boss Garry Taylor has declared himself happy with the Valencia test...

"This was a good shakedown test for the whole team," he said. "This is the first time Michael and Matt have ridden since November last year and it was good to see them both so fit and keen to get on with the development programme.
"It was also the first time out for the complete Maxtra 125 GP team and even the new truck worked out well on its maiden voyage! We have a clear direction where we need to make improvements and the whole project is on track for its debut race at Qatar in April."
