Jorge Lorenzo sets the best lap time in the MotoGP test at Brno

Today the MotoGP test took place at Brno, a session aimed above all at the 2011 season, but the rain returned and brought the tests the teams were carrying out to an early end.

So the action at the Czech track ended at around 3:00 p.m., and as a result the timesheet barely changed from the one set in the morning, leaving Jorge Lorenzo as the fastest, followed by Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa.

In this second part of the session some riders did not go out, as was the case with Álvaro Bautista and Nicky Hayden, both affected by their respective crashes during the Czech Republic Grand Prix. Those who did want to make the most of the test was Hiroshi Aoyama, the Japanese rider returning to the circuits after a long absence caused by the injuries he suffered in the crash at Silverstone.

For Jorge Lorenzo it was a good session, because he tested next season’s bike and confirmed that it works, as he managed to set a lap time two tenths faster than the one that gave Pedrosa pole position last Saturday.

So it seems the 2011 M1 works very well and resolves the shortcomings of this season’s bike, although it is not only Yamaha that has improved, since the Honda has also tried many things: the brakes, specifications, as well as other settings, and of course they have put a test bike on track.

Many things await us for next season, but first let’s see how 2010 ends, a year in which Lorenzo has everything in his favour to take the crown of the premier class.

We will keep a close watch on MotoGP.
