Positive start for Movistar Yamaha to Sepang pre-season test
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Movistar #yamaha MotoGP Teams #maverickvinales and #valentinorossi successfully completed the first day of official IRTA MotoGP testing in 2017 at the Sepang International circuit in Malaysia, taking third and eighth place in the timesheets.
The Movistar #yamaha MotoGP riders proved to have kept their form despite the winter break, with riders #maverickvinales and #valentinorossi ending the first day of the Sepang MotoGP Official Testing in third and eighth place respectively.
Former Moto3 World Champion and new #yamaha entry Viñales made it seem as if he had been riding the YZR-M1 for years right from the start of the pre-season test at the Sepang International circuit. He was eager to head out on track as soon as the lights turned green and, despite suffering from a lack of grip in the early stages, the Spaniard booked steady progress needing less than three hours to secure third place on the leader board with a 200.128s lap, 0.447s from first.
After a short lunch break the 22-year-old continued his testing programme. Though he was unable to further improve his time, he took some valuable steps in terms of bettering the bikes set-up and increasing the tyre life, before rain spoiled the last two hours of the session. He wrapped up the day in third place and in a good position for tomorrow, when testing resumes.
Teammate Rossi undertook a similar testing schedule, despite not being a 100% fit. The Italian suffered from a severe headache, but didnt let that stop him from making some kilometres aboard the 2017 YZR-M1 in the Malaysian heat.
The nine-time World Champion had as his main goal to verify the data found at the tests in November, in order to build on it over the next two days. His pace steadily increased throughout his morning and afternoon stints, signalling his positive feeling on the bike by setting the eighth fastest time, a 200.695s, 1.014s from the front. Towards the end of the day the Doctor worked on the performance of the engine and the electronics until rain dampened the track. He didnt further attempt to better his pace, leaving him eighth in the standings.
