After winning its 2017th Grand Prix victory in 500, but also three races with Maverick Vinales and one with Valentino Rossi, the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP team will make its 2018 presentation from Madrid.
This presentation, which will take place in the Spanish capital on Wednesday January 24 at 12 p.m. (CET), will be broadcast live and free of charge on the website motogp.com.
Then, Maverick Vinales et Valentino Rossi will head to Sepang for the first official test of the year.
The Spaniard and the Italian carried out two days of testing there at the end of November last year, in the company of Johann zarco. They encountered partly humid and sometimes dry weather there. The goal then was to compare the 2016 and 2017 frameworks.
One day to go…👀
