On January 28, the permanent members of the 2018 MotoGP field will get back on track after the long winter period. A return where you will already have to be in great shape since it will take place in the furnace of a Sepang track in Malaysia. However, the beginner but still reigning Moto2 World Champion Franco Morbidelli keep a cool head when approaching the deadline.
Three days of intensive testing await MotoGP riders this Sunday, an opportunity to resume work left over from the Valencia and Jerez tests completed at the end of last year. For the spearhead of the VR46 Academy, finding his Honda RC213 will be a real pleasure, but the Italian who is also Brazilian swears that everything will remain under control.
He states thus: “ I can't wait to find my bike again at Sepang after discovering it in Valencia and Jerez. It will be important to start at a good pace, and we will then be able to continue on the bases of 2017. We have not set ourselves any objectives for these tests in terms of performance. Above all, I will see how I feel on the bike and how it is with me, because we are approaching a different track with Sepang. We will start with the basic settings and then refine them as information is collected on the track. This is what we did during the last two test gallops in Spain ". With some success!
