Maverick Vinales topped the times on the opening day of testing for the 2024 MotoGP season, while Marc Marquez lapped
The final day of the official premier class running of 2023 took place at a chilly Circuit Ricardo Tormo. Track action was delayed due to low temperatures. Marc Marquez rode a non-Honda bike for the first time in his MotoGP career, and his excitement was evident as he returned to the pit box with a smile. Marquez led for most of the day, but was eventually overtaken by Maverick Vinales. Several riders, including Marquez and double world champion Francesco Bagnaia, decided to end their day early. Other riders, such as Fabio Quartararo, Alex Rins, Luca Marini, and Joan Mir, stayed out to gather data for their 2024 bikes. Brad Binder crashed on his final lap, narrowly missing out on the fastest time. Marco Bezzecchi, riding Ducati’s world-title-winning GP23 for the first time, ended the day in third place.
