For the first time since 2013 MotoGP testing started Dani Pedrosa was of the top of the timesheets as title rival Jorge Lorenzo left him more than three tenths adrift, leaving the Repsol Honda rider meditating on the Sepang heat and how to improve on corner entry and planning tomorrow’s final day of testing.
“I’m satisfied. Today we were able to put in a lot of laps and we focused on testing things out with the front and rear suspension,” said Pedrosa. “It was a hard day, due to the high temperatures, but despite the heat we completed various tasks that we had scheduled in. Now we have to recuperate ahead of the final day tomorrow, in which we will continue to improve the bike.”
Marc Márquez finished fourth on day 2 and was a little more than three tenths of second from his veteran Repsol team mate and just 0.085s from Cal Cruthlow who is on a Yamaha satellite bike without all the updates that the factory M1 riders have.
“It was a pretty good day for us. Today we did something that is a little harder for riders, which is trying out a lot of things to give information to the technicians. It’s tough, but it is an important job when it comes to deciding which way to go with the setup. We did a good job on the 64 laps that I rode today. Now we have to compile the data and prepare as well as possible for the final day of the test in which we will continue to put the laps in and look for the best direction to follow this preseason,” said Marquez.
