This morning, Moto2 and MotoE return to the track for 3 days, which will undoubtedly not be too much for these two categories which constitute a real novelty.
En Moto2, the teams received their new chassis yesterday to mount the 3 c 765-cylinder Triumph engine as well as the brand new Magneti Marelli electronics, the inertial unit of which is the same as that mandatory in MotoGP in 2019.
