2020 is already tomorrow in MotoGP and the official teams are therefore hard at work preparing for the future season. Thus, Aprilia, Ducati and KTM will polish their weapons during private tests. The men from Noale and Mattighofen will be in Aragón, while those from Borgo Panigale will work in Valencia, which will also be the scene of the last game of the year, before immediately opening the off-season...
Michele Pirro in red, Dani Pedrosa in orange and Bradley Smith in good English will be mobilized for important tests in preparation for the next campaign. Let's start with Ducati who will be at Valencia from October 23 to 25 to work on a GP20 that Gigi Dall'Igna has already promised as news. A real curiosity, at a time when the Italian firm's pilots are asking for the lethal weapon to counter the phenomenon Marc Marquez. For Pirro, it will also be a good preparation for the Grand Prix which will take place on the same Ricardo Tomo site which he will ride as a wildcard.
For its part, Dani Pedrosa will ride in Aragón from 24 26 in October. At KTM we are already pleased with the contribution of its illustrious test pilot to the RC16 project. We will recall that the other test pilot Mika Kallio is engaged on the front line alongside Pol Espargaro en lieu and in place of John Zarco. A starting place which should escape the 36-year-old Finn since the arrival ofIker Lecuona, 19, is well on his way.
Bradley Smith will have in the meantime heated the same Aragón track since the Englishman has already set foot there since October 21 and until 23 on behalf of Aprilia. With which RS-GP, this remains a mystery at a time when the manager on the ground for the Noale firm announced the day after the Japanese Grand Prix a fundamental questioning of the project with the commitment of gray matter from Formula 1...
Whatever happens, the first prototypes must be operational for the Valencia test, which will take place on November 19 and 20. There are still three Grands Prix to complete this season.
