2025 Private Barcelona MotoGP/Moto2 Test – Results (Day 1)
Lap times from Wednesdꦡay’s opening 🍷day of a private test at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya.
Following the Aragon Grand P🔯rix and Monday's official test, Pramac Yamaha riders Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira travelled straight to Bar🌸celona to join a private test on Wednesday and Thursday.
The pair of MotoGP race riders - able to take part due to Yamaha’s concession status - were joined on track by M1 t♌est riders Andrea Dovizioso and Augusto Fernandez, KTM test riders Pol Espargaro and Dani Pedrosa, Honda test rider Aleix Espargaro and Ducati’s Michele Pirro.
At least one of the new V4 prototypes is among the three Yamaha test machines being shared by Dovizioso and Fernandez. Yamaha states that there are no plans for Miller or Oliveira to try the V4 this week...
🅷Meanwhile, Manuel Gonzalez was the third rider at Barcelona who 🅘had been on track at Aragon on Monday, the Moto2 title leader switching back to his Triumph-powered Kalex after a premier-class debut with Trackhouse.
BSB’s Tommy Bridewell is also in attendance.
Testing concludes on Thursday evening…
