Movistar Yamaha Get Back To Business at the Buriram Test

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Movistar #yamaha #motogp Team's #valentinorossi and #maverickvinales were keen to get reunited with their YZR-M1s today at the start of the Buriram #motogp Official #test. The teammates were back on track to build on the results from the three-day Sepang #test held a few weeks ago.

The first day of testing at the Chang International Circuit was a special occasion for Rossi, who celebrates his 39th birthday today, but he wasn't having a lie-in. He entered the track at 10:14am local time, eager to make it a memorable occasion.

The Doctor completed 74 laps in total, which he used to re-assess various items he had tried earlier at the Sepang #test. Though his focus was on analysing his bike's behaviour, he still managed to enjoy his birthday, doing what he loves most. The Italian wrapped up the first day in eighth place with a best lap time of 1'31.189s, set on lap 68, 0.392s from the front.

Viñales made his typical early bird start as the second pre-season #test got underway at 9:30am local time. As this is the #motogp field's first time trying the Buriram track, the Spaniard didn't waste a second to make full use of the opportunity. He fine-tuned his bike's settings in the morning, working on his pace and corner entry, before taking a break at 01:30pm.

The young gun continued his efforts later in the afternoon. He completed 70 laps in total. In the final hour of testing, he set his fastest time of the day, a 1'31.294s on lap 67, for 11th place, 0.497s from the top of the standings.
