Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) left it late to blast to the top of the timesheets in testing, but the reigning Champion took a huge chunk of time on his final, fast run - eventually topping the day by over three tenths on lap 81 of 82. The number 93 says the team didn't test any new parts - focusing on settings and the electronics.
Marquez also did his fastest lap on a front tyre supplied by Michelin for the test, which is the same as one used at Misano last year.
Marc Marquez, P1: "The test today was good enough, though we didn’t test anything new in particular on the bike. We did a lot of laps working a bit on the electronics and on my riding style, aiming to manage the tyres better. What finally made me very happy was the symmetric front tyre Michelin brought here. I immediately felt great again, on the bike and with the front. Actually I did my fastest lap on that tyre, as it was more stable. I was smiling again, at least on this track. Hopefully we can continue on this path with the tyres."
