It was a positive start for the team with Andrea immediately setting a good time to move into 5th place in the timesheets. Unfortunately, on lap 15 he was victim to an unexpected but harmless crash that forced him to interrupt the testing day.
Ben instead managed to keep a constant pace aiming to collect useful data for the Championship.
Late in the afternoon a brief rain shower came down and all the MotoGP riders came back into the pits.
Tomorrow sees the last day of testing to finalize the set-up before the season gets underway.
Andrea Iannone - Energy T.I. Pramac Racing Team
"It was a positive day despite the crash that forced me to stop. I was able to have a good feeling with the bike and get some good impressions. I'm sorry for the fall but I was trying to improve my pace and unfortunately these things can happen. I am very positive and I hope to be fast as soon as possible. "
Ben Spies - Ignite Pramac Racing Team
“We didn’t have a great day, but now we know a little more about the bike and we improved quite a bit even with my shoulder problem. I am happy because it feels better and better. We know we are a bit slower than where we wanted to be, but I had some good laps, we worked hard and we have got some changes to do tomorrow to get more confidence with the bike.”
