The current FIM rules prohibit testing with official machines on circuits that are on the MotoGP calendar during the racing season, but that doesn’t mean that riders can’t ride on tracks with street bikes, like Jorge Lorenzo did yesterday at the new Motorland Aragon circuit with a Yamaha R1.
Lorenzo has joined the number of MotoGP riders that have already gotten a feel of the new Spanish track that will host the 13th round of the MotoGP championship September 19th.
Randy de Puniet, Hector Barbera, Loris Capirossi, Alvaro Bautista, Nicky Hayden, Mika Kallio and Aleix Espargaro have already learned the Aragon circuit at the beginning of July, all rigorously riding their marques superbikes.
Here’s what Jorge Lorenzo had to say from his Facebook page, “Hi everybody, today I’ve had my first contact in Motorland Aragon, less than three hours from Barcelona.
Is a good track, very nice for my Yamaha.
Today with the R1, I would like to test with my M1 just now” and this is what he told the official MotoGP website, “It is a fun circuit with very different turns.
The first turns are similar to Turkey and others seem like Misano.
I hope that people who live close to here come and support the Spanish riders.
I’m looking forward to racing here.
