Some interesting news on tyre logistics in the compressed season

MotoGP, Taramasso: "During the stop Honda and Ducati got to understand the new Michelins"

MotoGP: "For Jerez and Le Mans, we have tyres for extreme temperatures. The double race? I expect 15 riders in one second in qualifying and we will see photo finishes"

Not a good start to the weekend for Fabio

Quartararo could be forced to miss the opening 20-minutes of Free Practice 1 at this weekend's Spanish MotoGP season opener, as punishment for training on a motorcycle that did not comply with the regulations regarding private testing on production bikes.

However the Petronas Yamaha star, who was second fastest to Maverick Vinales at today's official test, is to appeal the decision. Moto3 rider Sergio Garcia (Estrella Galicia 0,0) has also received the same penalty, for a similar offence. An FIM statement on Quartararo's punishment, which refers to a training session on a modified R1 Superbike, can be seen below.

Although some modifications are allowed for safety reasons, there are strict limits on what can be changed from the standard bike and the MotoGP Technical Director should be informed:

Pity he missed out on Q2

Yeah, a bit of a bump back to earth after his speed in practice.

He was close tho... Faster than a factory ducati and race winner

Should be a good race tomorrow. Think Brad has top 10 potential. Love hearing the commentators rave about him. If KTM can develop their premier class bike with the same success they developed their Moto2 bike last year, then he should be good to watch towards the end of the season.
