Post-season testing began on Tuesday morning at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, with teams slowly unveiling new components and liveries and riders getting used to new teams and new surroundings.
On a chilly but sunny morning, riders were slow to take to the track, with test riders Michele Pirro and Lorenzo Savadori putting in more laps than anyone else in the first hour. Times were slow, with Alex Marquez’ 1:40.213 two seconds off the all-time best lap.
