MotoGP : Hasil Sesi Tes Pramusim MotoGP Phillip Island

Seperti dijadwalkan, tim Yamaha, Honda dan Ducati memulai sesi tes pramusim terakhirnya di Phillip Island, Australia, Senin (3/3). Sesi tes ini merupakan antisipasi terhadap isu ban yang berkembang pada saat balap di sirkuit ini, Oktober tahun lalu.

Dengan aspal baru, balap saat itu dikurangi jumlah putarannya sehingga perlu melakukan pertukaran motor di tengah-tengah lomba. Pada sesi tes ini, Ducati sudah hadir dengan format Open Class, sedangkan Yamaha diwakili Rossi dan Lorenzo. Honda hanya mendatangkan Pedrosa, karena Marquez masih dalam masa pemulihan pasca kecelakaan saat latihan yang menyebabkan patahnya tulang kaki sang juara dunia. (otosport.co.id)
