The best of having been the other day attending the test of the Spanish Supermotard Championship It was not seeing the best pilots of the specialty that race in Spanish territory, but meeting again with Francisco "Juancho" Romero, with whom I competed last year and won the Rodicar Cup trophy.

Juancho participates this year in the category of SM3 and is leader of the championship (Last year he beat us with a hand behind his back). In the first of the heats he had bad luck and a breakdown in his motorcycle prevented him from fighting with Néstor Cardona, second in the championship. Thus, everything seemed to indicate that he would lose the leadership when seeing Néstor pass under the checkered flag, followed by Nuno Pinto and Raúl Perales. However, the organization disqualified Nestor for arriving late to the closed park, leaving the duel in the air for the second round.

In the second heat, with Juancho on the track, Nestor was in the lead but a failure in the off-road zone delayed him to fourth position. Ahead, Josep Mª Florensa kept the first position while behind Josep Piedra held out as best he could Juancho's attempts to overtake. On the last lap, Cardona would come from behind, snatching the third position from Romero at the exit of the gravel zone. A pity but he still retains the lead in the absence of a test.

In the end, a fun Sunday in the middle of the races. And I already missed feeling the environment up close. This year, for one reason or another, I still hadn't been able to compete, and a few days ago I was back on the grid. But that will be another story …
