The first official MotoGP 2018 tests which took place at the Valencia circuit are now complete.
All the teams have packed up their equipment and had to have left the paddock before 23 p.m. to make way for the FIM CEV championship competitors who will set up there tomorrow morning.
The teams that will be present in Jerez on November 22 and 23 (Ducati, Suzuki, LCR Honda, Marc VDS and undoubtedly many others) have therefore loaded their motorcycles into their trucks, while Yamaha (Factory + Tech3) , we chose to carry out private tests in Sepang a few days later (27 and 28).
The motorcycles were therefore loaded into their air transport crate and, on the Tech3 side, we visibly recovered a motorcycle used today by Valentino Rossi, in addition to the M1 in 2017 configuration driven by John Zarco during this test.
As for knowing what is hidden under these disparate fairings, only Japanese engineers and French technicians know...
We have had a great season following the French pilot's adventure as closely as possible, and we hope that this is only the first chapter of a long and beautiful story!
