johann zarcowho fell into the race this Sunday when he battled Bezzecchi for ninth place, leading the official post-race test in Jerez with a time of 1’37 ”136. The top-5 completed by Brad Binder, Fabio Quartararo, Jack Miller and Pol Espargaró are below the race record set by Pecco Bagnaia with 1’37 ”669, the one from the pole, which was a hindrance on Monday because conditions were not the most favorable.

A test that for some of the brands was very important and Honda gained muscle with three bikes for Marc Márquez to solve his front end problems and two for Pol Espargaró to regain good grip in the rear from in the preseason and the GP of Qatar and seems to have disappeared. In 85 laps, Polyccio worked the most and then he was Franco Morbidelli, Alex Márquez and Fabio Quartararo.

“It’s been a good and important day and we’ve been able to test a few things. As usual some worked well and some didn’t turn out to be what we needed. We’ve tried a few different aero parts to see how they are working on a shorter and narrower track like in Jerez, because pre-season is on long and fast tracks like Sepang and Mandalika.Good information now, but we need to keep working.Now hopefully we are Le Mans ”, Marc explained.

MotoGP World Championship leader Fabio Quartararo is in a hurry to leave, having in a week and a half to face the French GP at Le Mans, his first French GP as MotoGP world champion. On Monday he tested a swingarm, a front fender and the 365mm Brembo disc. He had also tried something on the clutch, which he didn’t like. The swingarm will be considered in case they lack grip.
