P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Lap times as of 2pm during Tuesday’s post-season MotoGP test at Valencia where Marc Marquez, Luca Marini, Alex Rins, Johann Zarco, Franco Morbidelli, Fabio di Giannantonio and rookie Pedro Acosta are riding with their new teams.
Marc Marquez had a successful opening stint on the Gresini Ducati, finishing sixth fastest and with a smile on his face. He quickly moved up to second place on only his third run. Despite being the fastest Ducati rider, he currently sits in third behind Raul Fernandez and Maverick Vinales. Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin, the newly crowned world champion and runner-up respectively, also took their Ducati GP24s out on the track. Unfortunately, Martin had two falls during the testing session. Aleix Espargaro had to halt testing due to worsening leg injury and will undergo a CT scan in Barcelona before heading to Germany for a wind tunnel test. Lorenzo Savadori will take over Espargaro’s testing work. This test in Valencia is the last chance for official MotoGP laps until the next one in Sepang in February.
