MotoGP Jerez test, Day 1, 14h30: Make a breath in front of Dovi, but Lorenzo goes in third position!

The first day of the MotoGP collective test in Jerez de la Frontera was definitely in the lead, with a nice series of changes at the top and a clbadification that continues to change when we arrived at 14:30.

In front of everyone, the Marc Marquez Honda has been hoisted. Moments before 2:30 pm, the clock was timed on a time of 1 "38" 517, skirting for just two thousandths the Ducati of Andrea Dovizioso, who had climbed the ranger a few minutes before.

The most exciting news, however, is without a doubt the big step forward shown by Jorge Lorenzo. The Spaniard threw his first high on the Honda, even taking the top of the standings for a few minutes, before returning to third place, just 232 milliseconds from the double RC213V. A definitely encouraging signal.

In fourth place, at 482 thousandths, we find the first of the Yamaha, which is again that of Maverick Vinales. However, it is interesting to note that Franco Morbidelli has also taken a step forward with the M1 in Petronas colors, as the Italian is between the sixth and the 602 thousandth. Valentino Rossi's day also began, 12th to over a second, but with only 24 laps to go.

It was very interesting, however, also the beautiful jump in the standings made to Andrea Iannone, able to carry her Aprilia even to fifth place in 1 "39" 008, although her time trial was took advantage of Marquez's wake in his best lap.

After being the first until a few hours ago, Danilo Petrucci returned to seventh place, Davani Suzuki Alex Rins and Honda's surprising Takaaki Nakagami. Speaking of Hamamatsu House, we must point out that the first fall of the newcomer Joan Mir has arrived.

The Spaniard slid up to lap 7, also causing a red flag, needed to repair a damaged air barrier. The former Moto3 world champion also left the medical center, but luckily he did not report the consequences and in fact also resumed the track path.

The learning of Pecco Bagnaia on the Ducati of Pramac Racing continues in a positive way. The Moto2 World Champion is actually 11th, but only a few thousandths of his teammate Jack Miller. It's a pleasure to see Tito Rabat in 13th position, his physical condition still being quite precarious after the repair of the triple fracture of the right leg at Silverstone.

They seem to have taken a step back at the time of the KTM, with Pol Espargaro who occupies the 14th position at 1 "2 and Johann Zarco who is even 22nd at 2" 5. The French has a lot of trouble in adapt to the RC16 and attests to his past behind former teammate Hafizh Syahrin, who went from Yamaha to the Austrian bike.
