Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted November 20, 2019 Share There is so much feedback coming from these tests, it's hard to know what to read and what not.Seems KTM is slowly ditching the trellis frame, now they just need to dump WP and move to Ohlins and they might stand a chance.Brad easing into it slowly but doing well.Alex made a rookie mistake, no biggie. Went out too early, track cold, tyres cold and a front end tuck. Many others did it in the same corner. He ended up 0.040sec off Bradl, although slowest. Manage 54 laps after the fall and bike rebuild.Marc trashed the only complete 2020 bike in a fall that looked strange. Up a gear and boom, not even off the throttle or on the brakes or at any major lean angle. New engine and frame is more of the same apparently so feel sorry for the other Honda riders.Yamaha are doing well. New engine seems to have more top end, that's good for them. I don't like Pernat's ramblings but makes for interesting reading, with a pinch of salt.......https://www.gpone.com/en/2019/11/18/motogp/pernat-marquez-like-rossi-hes-keeping-dorna-in-check.html Long Wheel Base, WrightJnr, Wannabe and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andymann Posted November 20, 2019 Share Marquez with a 1:30.66 fastest so far Pol Espargaro just did a 1:30.68 on the 2020 KTM which is bloody impressive. Iker Lecuona did a 1:31.51 - also pretty impressive. Brad 1:32.63 - reckon he's just easing into it - in his interview he reckons that he's go so much to change with how he rides, he hasn't even started changing setup yet! sawystertrance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
