Officially, it was the Yamaha M1s of Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi which took a spin in Courmayeur, within reach of Mont Blanc, before flying to Qatar.
Hmm... We want to be nice but we don't think that the said drivers would like to do their tests with 2009s, probably those which had already been used at the 2015 presentation in Madrid...
Regardless, this is actually a “special project between Yamaha Motor Racing and Getty Images”, and therefore, beautiful images!
