The first SBK tests have been taking place at Jerez. The track, booked as usual by Kawasaki, was also an opportunity for the Honda MotoGP test team that put Stefan Bradl on the track with the new RC213V. The testing work on the new bike is important because next week the top class will be in action on the Sepang track in Malaysia for the first tests of the season.
On Monday, in fact, Honda’s German rider will be on track together with the other test riders and rookies for the shakedown of the new bikes which will then be definitely whipped into shape by the official riders over the weekend. Honda should have significantly modified its MotoGP which, once again last season, only proved to be competitive with Marc Marquez. Even the Spanish champion, however, on his return to racing after a season of absence, had asked for steps forward from the Tokyo manufacturer. Will the goal be to win the world championship again?
