Today marks the official start of the 2022 MotoGP season with the first day of testing at Sepang International Circuit.
There was great excitement for the long-awaited return to the track after the winter break.
The day started on a positive note and the riders immediately had a good feeling with the new bike.
Johann completed 47 laps, with the fastest lap at 1:58.946 while
Jorge finished the day with 49 laps, with the fastest lap at 1:59.949.
The first day of testing was certainly more than satisfactory.
Jorge Martín
I am satisfied with this first day of testing,
the first day after the winter break is not always easy but we are working hard.
I had a very good start this morning and then struggled a little bit more in the afternoon because of the high temperatures.
I am sure we will improve tomorrow.
Johann Zarco
I had a good feeling from the beginning and I was able to be fast all day.
In the afternoon we improved, I became more aware of the bike and I finished in the top five. Tomorrow will be another important day to try new solutions.
