This article has the very theoretical honor of inaugurating our series [Rumours].
In this section, you will simply find the “noises” coming directly from the paddock, as if you were there, but without real checks.
We will obviously not report the craziest or most malicious rumors, but only those which seem worthy of interest to us, even if they all require confirmation.
Among those, it seems that Fabio Quartararo, although without a transponder, really drove very fast during the last private tests in Jerez.
We're talking about a low 1'46, while the best Moto3 time, all sessions combined, was officially 1'47.3, and the test record has still been held by Jack Miller since 2014, in 1'46.173 by Jack Miller.
In any case, this is a very nice rumor, which, we hope, will be confirmed during the IRTA tests in Jerez which will start tomorrow and end on Friday, exactly the same timing as their big sisters in Qatar.
