Correos Prepago Yamaha VR46 Master Camp used the Jerez Moto2 & Moto3 Official Test to prepare for the remaining 2023 Moto2 race weekends. Manuel Gonzalez was the sole rider for the team, giving him a full-on testing schedule. He successfully tried a new swingarm amongst other things and finished in eighth place in the combined classification.

The lap was faster than any of his laps posted last weekend and earned him eighth place. For FP2 the temperature had gone up significantly, resulting in a slower pace.

The Correos Prepago Yamaha VR46 Master Camp man set a 1‘42.193s to wrap up the final free practice in fifth. However, with his morning session time being faster, he ended the day in eighth place in the combined timesheets.
