MotoE back on track as Barcelona Test gets 2025 underway

The #40 starts strong as drama hits for reigning Champion Garzo in pre-season testing.

The FIM MotoE World Championship got their first track action of the year underway on Friday as the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya hosts their pre-season test. After a day of FP sessions on Friday, Saturday will see the field head out for a race simulation later in the day, and on Sunday they’ll run through a qualifying simulation too.

On Day 1, Mattia Casadei (LCR E-Team) took to the top on the timesheets with a fastest lap of 1:47.428 in the third session, with some familiar faces also starting the year in and around the top five – the likes of Eric Granado (LCR E-Team), Alessandro Zaccone (Aruba Cloud MotoE Team), Matteo Ferrari (Felo Gresini MotoE) and Oscar Gutierrez (MSI Racing Team). The full timesheets are attached thanks to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

There was a big headline outside the timing screens too as reigning World Champion Hector Garzo (Dynavolt Intact GP) suffered a crash and broke the trapezium in his left hand. That sidelines him from the rest of the test before the #1 had managed to gain much track time at all, putting him on the back foot ahead of his title defence in 2025.
