MotoGP Official Test at Sepang - Day 2

2-25-2010

by Marc Cantin , moto123.com

Here are the times from the first day of this test with the racers aboard the machines.

Keep in mind that every team wants to test fuel range, handling with different fuel loads, and the effect of certain changes to the bike. In fact, some of the riders may also run simulated race distances to test the mechanical endurance of their bike and the changes in handling as the fuel load decreases and the tires wear out.

Day 3 may see a few teams slap on soft tires and send the guys out with low fuel, to see how fast the bike can be, and/or to impress current or potential sponsors - and generate copy about their team until the next time they hit the track.
