Marquez: “Today was positive and I’m very happy because we did a lot of laps with a good feeling since the start of the test. It’s tough when you have such a busy schedule, but Honda is working hard and that’s great motivation for a rider. We tried different electronics and suspension setup and everything I tried was an improvement. It’s difficult to understand how much of this is a result of the track conditions & if it will be helpful on other tracks, so we’ll have to wait and see in Austria in few days."
Lorenzo tried chassis Dovi has used since Assen (Lorenzo not had time to test properly before). Liked it... But wouldn't tell us why. Going to try again in Austria to confirm.
