Following the final few days of testing in 2017 for the majority of the grid at Jerez, it will soon be time for the official winter test ban to begin on 1st December - with just a private test for Yamaha at Sepang remaining. But never fear, MotoGP™ isn’t far away – with the first test of 2018 firing up in January - also at Sepang.
For some, that will mean a first glimpse at their new machines – for others another chance to compare parts and see what work over the winter has brought behind-the-scenes. And for all of us, it’s cause for some serious celebration as MotoGP™ gets back on track!
