The biggest change on the 2015 Honda RC213V, the rear subframe mount points
Yamaha's exhaust is slightly different to the one trialed in Valencia. Looks good, sounds fantastic
Matteo Flamigni and his magical laptop
Suzuki have brought a new exhaust system, which is shorter
Suzuki's frame is very slim above the swingarm pivot
The Ducati GP14.3 - A number of small but subtle differences
The GP14.3, a closer look. The most visible change is a narrower waist around the seat, the chassis curving inward as it rises
Just visible, if you look closely, the curve of the upper part of the chassis
The geometry has changed a little too. The front forks are barely poking through the top yokes on the new bike, less than the old
For comparison, here is Danilo Petrucci's Pramac GP14. He has 6+cm of fork through the top yoke
That puts the bike very much on its nose
The Aprilia is the most changed bike since Valencia. New chassis, revised engine. It looks more like a prototype now
No seamless gearbox yet, though. That is likely to come later in the year
It is a good-looking machine. This is test rider Michael Laverty's bike
A wet clutch is something of an oddity on a racing motorcycle
Tech 3's new exhaust sponsor means that they cannot follow the design of the factory bike
The rear end of the Honda RC213V is very special indeed
Attention to detail: the onboard camera and rain lights are both enclosed in bodywork on the factory Hondas
The Open Honda looks almost cheap by comparison
