[MotoGP] – Good morning dear readers of FormulaPassion.it. The wait is over, teams and riders from the premier class are all back on track for the first of two days of winter tests scheduled at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia. Fabio Quartararo is the reigning champion and he has waited a long time for this appointment to verify the work done by the Yamaha technicians at the engine level.
Marc Marquez after weeks of doubts managed to put the diplopia behind him and to show up in Kuala Lumpur to work on the completely renovated Honda RC213V to return to playing a leading role in MotoGP after the titles won by Joan Mir in 2020 and by Fabio Quartararo in 2021. The queen of the Constructors’ championship, however, was undoubtedly the Ducati last season and the Desmosedici missiles are ready to impress the competition, among which Aprilia also hopes to continue to make its way. Below is the written report of the final hours of the first day of testing which began at 03:00 in Italy and with the checkered flag at 11:00.
Session in progress
07.30 – Already 35 laps for Marc Marquez, who pays the Aprilia rider just over a second.
07.15 – After just over half day Aleix Espargarò leads the standings in 1’58 ″ 371 ahead of Enea Bastianini. Followed by Alex Rins, Pol Espargarò, Joan Mir, Marc Marquez, Maverick Vinales, Johann Zarco, Cal Crutchlow and Fabio Quartararo. Crash without consequences for Honda’s eight-time world champion. At the moment everything is silent on the track as the teams and drivers are on their ‘lunch break’.
