Speaking after the ♏one-day test aboard the R6, Aegerter added: "It was a good test on the home track of t🐽he team in Assen. It was a private test, so I was the only one on the racetrack. 

"It was a very positive d⭕ay in good conditions with some sun and around 25 degrees asphalt temp🍌erature. 

"We were also very fast and my fastest lap was around the lap record. My pace was go𒁏ing a little bit up and dow🥀n, because the wind was changing a bit during the day. 

"We collected a lot of data, which 🎃the te𓃲am can check in the workshop. We’re at a top level and I can’t wait to start the season. 

"Big thanks to the Ten Kate Racin🍸g Yamaha team for their hard work and to the TT Circuit Assen for this opportunity!"
