MotoGP Sepang Pre-season Test 1 Day 1 – Marquez fastest, Rossi catching up

MotoGP Sepang Pre-season Test 1 Day 1 has concluded with Marc Marquez being the fastest man at 2.00.286. Following with him closely is the colourful guy we always know, Valentino Rossi, at 2.00.804, which differs at only 0.518. That is miliseconds, faster than the blink of the eye.

Rossi shows us his new AGV ‘double face’ helmet by Drudi Performance which shows the back of the helmet with design of his face inside the helmet. Creative and this could be the optical illusion for the riders at the back.

Nicky Hayden are now with Drive Aspar team handling the Honda machine. New sponsor and new ride, for a fresh start of year.

Also to be noticed is Yonny Hernandez from Colombia which is now sponsored by LS2 helmet with designs by SLGrafics. LS2 helmet user in Malaysia can feel proud too after this. The one Yonny use is the top-of-the-line CR1 FF396 Carbon.

Karel Abraham here paces with the low ranking of lap times on Day 1, but I think, still win with the best helmet graphics for the test.

Good luck guys!
