MotoGP Barcelona: From Saturday we return to the 2016 layout

MotoGP Barcelona 2017 – The Barcelona Safety Commission gave an unequivocal response, the majority of the drivers "rejected" the new chicane and from tomorrow we will return to the 2016 layout (they will therefore use the chicane highlighted in blue in the image above), the one after the Luis accident Salom. In favor of this solution, in addition to Valentino Rossi, there were also Maverick Vinales and Jorge Lorenzo, who had expressed themselves critically on the new solution.

What is perplexing is that the decision comes a year after the Luis Salom tragedy and after the Honda, Ducati and Aprilia riders had tested here a few weeks ago, therefore knowing the new layout.

Tomorrow Free Practice 3 will be decisive, more than usual, because from a Q2 perspective only the times of the morning will be valid, effectively canceling those recorded today.
