The second day of MotoGP test In Losail it was over and the Yamas were awarded the best times of the day. Maverick Viñales first, Valentino Rossi second and Jonas Folger third with a satellite were the protagonists of the day together with the new Ducati fairing premiered by Andrea Dovizioso.
Today has nothing to do with yesterday, where the clear dominators were the machines from the Borgo Panigale factory on a circuit that, a priori, is clearly favorable to them. Dovizioso, who set the best time yesterday, did not finish in the top ten of the leaderboard today.
The YZR-M1 take over the top
Without a doubt, the revelation of the tests is being the German Jonas folger, who slipped into a good third position with a time of 1,54,917, only four tenths slower than Maverick Viñales, the best time of the day, 1,54,455 with the official Yamaha. Behind him is his Italian teammate, Valentino Rossi, 0.277 behind the Spaniard.
To find it first Ducati We have to go up to seventh position occupied by Álvaro Bautista and just behind him, Jorge Lorenzo with GP17, who despite improving his time yesterday by 0.277 seconds, has fallen three positions in the time table compared to yesterday.
Cal crutchlow It is another one that remains at the top and has once again been the fastest Honda of the day, finishing in fourth position ahead of Marc Marque, who was sixth, and Dani Pedrosa who finished 16th.
The other surprise has been Aleix Espargaró who has placed his Aprilia fifth after finishing 13th yesterday. This is in stark contrast to the position of his teammate, Sam Lowes, who finished 20th just ahead of the three KTMs who can't quite find the right path at Losail.
Tomorrow is the last day of test in Qatar and the preseason tests. The next time the engines are started again it will be for the first free practice sessions at the same circuit at the end of this month.
