MotoGP Test Sepang J1: Pedrosa first shakedown leader at midday

MotoGP is making its pre-season at Sepang, which will be the scene of a week of development for the protagonists of the elite of the Grands Prix in view of the 2020 season. This is the shakedown which, this year, will be particularly watched given the quality of its participants. For the moment, it is Dani Pedrosa and his KTM who are leading…

Dani Pedrosa did not lose control and took the lead in the first salvos of this MotoGP warm-up session. The times are unofficial and some motorcycles present do not have transponders, like the Tech3s. Nevertheless, it works hard like at Ducati which made available to Pirro no less than two motorcycles, with some new aerodynamic features, including new mini-fins on the fork tubes.

We will remind you that the rookies are shaking hands as the regulations allow since this year. Finally, we will not see Jorge Lorenzo on that first day. He is recovering from jet lag and will be ready for tomorrow with his Yamaha. The Iwata drivers present today (Parkes, Nakasuga, Nozane…) do not have a transponder and are developing the R1. Looking forward to tomorrow to observe the M1 of the Majorcan driver!

Circuit record: 1'58.303 (Fabio Quartararo 2019)
