HERRIN SHOWS
IMPROVEMENT
A
MA Superbike Champion Josh Her-
rin continued to make improvements
with his Caterham Moto2 team, finishing
12th best on the final day of pre-season
testing in Valencia, Spain, on February 13
and ending up 18th overall from the three
days.
Still trying to get a feel for the new bike,
Herrin initially focused on the bike's set
up and ultimately was able to continue to
improve his times and meet his personal
goal of getting into the 1:36s.
"Today we made a lot of changes to the
position I am on the bike as well as some clutch
settings," Herrin said in a team release last week.
"I was able to achieve my goal which was to get
into the 1:36s."
Herrin showed steady improvements through-
out the week, starting with a 1:38.351 on day one,
dropping down to 1:37.400 on day two and get-
ting his best time of the week on day three with
a 1:36.566. His Wednesday time was 1.264 sec-
onds down on today's leader Maverick Vinales and
1.411 off the quickest time of the week set by Mark
VDS' Esteve Rabat. So for combined times of the
week Herrin finished 18th. His Caterham teammate
Johann Zarco ended up 13th with a 1:36.222.
Herrin is testing at Jerez today (Tuesday, Feb-
ruary 18) – a circuit that he's familiar with as he
tested there at the official Moto2 test in November.
