MotoGP – Le Mans Test Day 1 – Motoring update for Rossi

Important tests. Valentino Rossi, after yesterday's disappointment, took to the track for the first day of post-GP testing at Le Mans, looking for a solution to the (too many) problems that have afflicted him at the start of the championship. Yamaha has brought an engine update (the second seasonal step with a few more horsepower) to the Mugello projection, where it will (obviously) be important to maintain a good speed on the main straight in order to compete for success. So Yamaha has done its job... and Michelin? Tires galore, but to verify the competitiveness of the Bibendum compared to the Bridgestone we will have to wait for the Mugello race in two weeks. To optimize the work, therefore, it will be necessary to hope for a sunny day for tomorrow's tests...
