With the Valencian Grand Prix being celebrated only yesterday, old and new MotoGP stars were back on track again today for the first day of testing for the 2010 season in sunny, but windy conditions.
This of course included Alvaro who had his first on track encounter with his new Suzuki machine. Alvaro clocked the 15th fastest laptime overall and considering that he left two of three “real rookies” behind him and is not far away from Simoncelli who’s allegedly riding a factory-spec Honda at the moment, this first outing on the bike can surely be considered as a success.
Testing will continue tomorrow and conclude on Wednesday.
