Thanks David with these reports it's not the off season Yet
So good to have some quality reading material while I am taking it easy.
Crazy Joe seems to like testing at Jerez. A.I. 29 not as quick as DesmoDovi, Cal & Jorge earlier in the test. I think Iannone likes being the fastest rider at the circuit.
The Kawasaki SBK bikes go allright at Jerez. Alex Lowes going well, but still a significant gap behind the Kwakas.
No MV Agusta at the test??? are they serious or what? The test at Jerez would seem to me to be a great opportunity for the new rider, Jordi Torres to get used to the MV, but what do I know? It would have been great to see those sideburns at that track in Andalusia. Spanish Elvis knows his way around Jerez. Missed their chance didn't they.
Spanish Elvis was there or was he ?
On the MV website they say J.T. was at the test.

"Still struggling after the crash at Losail, Jordi Torres closed 4th the second and last testing day at Jerez de La Frontera.
The Spaniard – after only two track session with the MV Agusta Reparto Corse F4 RC – was the first rider to go out on track yesterday morning, closing many laps trying to get familiar as much as he could with the new bike.
Despite precarious health conditions due to the crash in Qatar, Jordi was able to set the 4th time (1’40.468s) on the timesheet, 0,9s far from the session’s leader Tom Sykes."
Jordi Torres – “I am very happy to have been able to take part in these tests. Despite the muscle strain that I suffered crashing at Losail, these two days we have been able to make a solid step forward, managing to increase the feeling with the new bike. Thanks to my new team for the excellent support, I’m looking forward to being back on track with my F4 RC for the upcoming tests in 2018, which I hope to face in good health condition.”
It is positive that Jordi Torres got a ride on the new bike.
