All the best to Rossi
How come there are no CRT teams in the test?
Factory teams and CRT teams have different schedules
Valencia ------- CRT ------------------- January 30th-31st
Sepang I------- Factory ---------------- January 31st , February 1st & 2nd
Jerez ----------- CRT -------------------- February 20th - 22nd
Sepang II ----- Factory ---------------- February 28th & 29th, March 1st
Aragon -------- CRT ------------------- March 8th-9th
Jerez ----------- both ------------------ March 23rd, 24th & 25th
The results are in for MotoGP CRT testing in Jerez.
MotoGP (CRT)
1. Randy De Puniet, ART 1’41.6 (57 laps)
2. Aleix Espargaró, ART 1’42.6 (47 laps)
3. Mattia Pasini, ART 1’43.3 (43 laps)
4. Danilo Petrucci, IODA 1'43.3 (43 laps)
I'm a bit disappointed at the times, and hope the CRT teams can improve their pace before the season starts.
Comparing the times to last years MotoGP times, the CRT bikes are around 2sec. off the pace. That's a lot.
