I always enjoy this test after last MotoGP.
Chance to see riders in new team colours.
And the riders will push to the limit, for bragging rights over the long winter.
New colours

Draw your hasty conclusion accordingly!

Re: MotoGP Testing
Hasty conclusions... 
1. Harmony will be in short supply in the Lenovo garage well before halfway through the season...
2. If Yamaha can put a half-decent bike under him, Fab Frog will challenge
3. Pecking order is hard to establish at this point, apart from Ducati being a step ahead of everyone.
4. Rookies have a mountain to climb adapting to MotoGP bikes.

Even for a red bike it is very red.

Re: MotoGP Testing
Beginning of last season, Tardozze says there's very little difference between 23/24 bikes.
End of season testing he gives us insights into MM thoughts on the 24 bike, which is what he's describes as 'this is where we make the big steps over old bike'
Turning and engine braking........nothing significant then!

It sort of reminded me of a Katana.

Re: MotoGP Testing
I know Marc made a big thing about wanting to be in the red team for 2025 but i think he went a bit overboard on the RED!!!!!
Pecco making a point by not riding in Red for the test with his white bike and leathers .....Are Ducati going for the Angel and Devil contrast
I see Pedro has his number 37 back again since his former GasGas team mate is no longer on the MotoGP grid.

He looked like a mix of the Imperial Guards from Star Wars, the robot from The Black Hole and Liz Hurley in Bedazzled.

Re: MotoGP Testing
Interesting that MM did his best time on the 24 bike (possibly because they have all the setup data), which was iirc 0.9 off qualifying time, and according to DT, he'd been on the 25 all day, then as a benchmark jumped on the 24.
However little brother was 0.2 off QT without the benefit of quali tyres.
I hope we will live in interesting times!
