MotoGP | 2020 | Round 1 (2) | Spain | Jerez | July 17-19

Or the Aprilia is that good. But...first session after 4+ months off. Probably nothing to read into.

 

Rossi will take the top step

 

I always thought that if Aleix got on to a good machine he was be great. He took some steaming piles much faster than anyone thought. Remember those CRT bikes...too bad he never got a shot on a factory squad.

 

It is when you look at their times in the first session. Marquez went faster than his race lap record and top 15 within a second. That’s awesome.

 

So next year when he's on a "privateer bike," he could be the new Cal Crutchlow.

Do they still have "Top Finishing Privateer" in parc ferme?

 

I ended up buying the VideoPass like now, and no live feed of the test?

 

They do.

 

I don't think they ever show testing live.

 

they used to. Sometime with no announcing, but the video feed was live for many of them.

 

It's bullshit they don't even give you live timing! Extra $$ for that

 

Regular pre-season tests are shown live.

 

Was included with mine.

 

.

 

Yeah that’s some BS it wants me to pay for live timing but can’t watch for the price I paid for live video coverage

 

live timing has always been extra.

do you really want to watch numbers of a practice session jump?

just wait one day

 

Joe Robert was in 14th after session 1, but less than 0.7 back, so not too bad.
He hasn't come within 0.8 of his previous best in the current session, so probably trying some new stuff that isn't working. I hope that bike and team are competitive this year.

 

Something happen to Petrucci?

Only got 4 laps in the second session and was dead last.......

*edit*

Nevermind, hope he's OK:

"The afternoon session was halted for 45-minutes due to an early oil leak from Espargaro's Aprilia, which caused accidents for both Alex Marquez and Danilo Petrucci at Turn 11."

 

Ouch! That is going to sting when he gets that (and there's a good chance he does - will he ride by?)...

 

They offered it for no extra cost last fall.

 

Viñales wins testing. I guess will know where we won't be Sunday, and that's up front.
