New thread for new season as 2019 testing has started!

Yamaha tests on first new engine went well with Vinales and Rossi in #1 & #3 respectively.

Testing second new engine today

Who you got for this season? My money's on Rossi as usual but given his form in last 3 races I think that's achievable

I think Yamaha will throw a lot of money into development and testing this season, as they were left a bit humiliated in 2018 by not listening to their riders.
46 is a good call and should have the bit between his teeth after 2018.

Thought Rins was impressive this year, interesting to see how 2019 will go, now Suzuki have lost their concessions.

Er, I hate to pop your wee bubble but that has been the pattern for the past 3 seasons’ tests in Qatar and Valencia.

Would like to see Yamaha sort themselves out though. A 123 point gap is an embarrassment.

When you’ve just upgraded your stock master cylinder to a Brembo 19RCS and you take the bike out for a test ride:


The inside of those leathers must have had a smidge of brown after that!

It won’t take a G out of Marquez but as history has shown when Lorenzo’s confidence has been knocked it takes a while for him to recover... he’ll probably finish on the podium now that I’ve said that :laughing:

I'd like to see Jorge race, hopefully his walk to the med centre is precaution.. Leathers off though so he's binned FP3

Brilliant result for a knocked about Cal, I hope the Suzukis can be competitive throughout the season now and a good result for Rossi, considering qualifying and beating Vinales to the stripe.

Is MotoGP anywhere on freeview this year? There was a highlight show in the week last year but can't find anything now.
