It is not easy to return to school in January and the WSBK is realizing this at the moment on the side of Jerez. The gloomy weather, and all in all logical in this period, thwarts the best developed test programs which will have to be partly, if not entirely, postponed.

Jerez should then be occupied by Michele Pirro and the Desmosedici, Dani Pedrosa and the RC16, and always Bradl on the RC213V from February 11 to 12.

By the way, in Noale, we still haven't decided between Savadori et Smith to find out who will start the season alongsideAleix Espargaró ...

The return of the test drivers will also take place in Jerez...
