Lorenzo, Spies Call Test a Success Despite Crashes

Yamaha riders Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies each crashed but both riders deemed the third and final day of MotoGP testing in Malaysia a success.

Anti clockwise Knockhill and riding in the North East with GP winners.

I was both nervous and excited for my first ever reverse direction track day last week at Knockhill.

MotoGP to Hold Official Test in Argentina; South American Nation Returning to Calendar for 2014

Repsol is, of course, a prominent sponsor of several teams including Honda‘s factory team.
