Next week, Jerez will be the testing center for many MotoGP and Superbike teams.
As we have already written, the main absentees will however be the Yamaha Movistar and Yamaha Monster teams, Valentino Rossi, Maverick Vinales, Johann Zarco and Jonas Folger filming during the same days in Sepang.
Ducati Corse will also abstain, Jorge Lorenzo, still under contract with Yamaha until December 31, not being authorized to participate in the tuning forks by the firm. In fact, the authorized and counted days work per team and not per driver. So, if Ducati only had Andrea Dovizioso ride there, there would still only be three days of testing left out of the five available for Jorge Lorenzo.
The Honda Repsol and Suzuki Ecstar teams, both in the Factory category, will only ride on Wednesday and Thursday, thus using only 2 of the 5 days allowed to them.
Ktm is not in this case and it is likely that the Austrian firm will also ride on the Andalusian route on Friday.
These tests will be accessible free of charge to the public on site but, as they are private, no distribution of images is planned, unlike those which have just been completed in Valencia.
However, the Live Timing times will perhaps be accessible here.
