MotoGP Qatar Test - Day 3
Today the Movistar #yamaha #motogp Team successfully completed the #motogp Official Test in #qatar. Continuing their strategy to wait for sunset before revving up their engines, Maverick Viñales and #valentinorossi spent the day perfecting their #racing set-up, setting the first and eleventh fastest time of the day respectively.
Viñales used todays outings on the Losail International Circuit to their full capacity. He opted to continue fine-tuning his bike, looking for the optimum balance on the #yzrm1 to increase his margin over the rest of the #motogp field.
As the session progressed, so did the Spaniard's efforts. He once again proved his status as the man to beat, when he set a 154.330s just before the end of the fourth hour. This hot lap remained unchallenged for the rest of the session. Viñales proceeded with a long run to wrap up the test with vital information on fuel consumption and tyre degradation, bringing his tally for today up to 60 laps. He finished the day in first place, 0.071s ahead of his closest rival in both todays and the combined results.
Rossi had a more challenging time as he struggled to find the same feeling he had yesterday. The Italian had a productive day, determined to shape up for the #motogp season, putting in 54 laps in total.
Around halfway through the session he set his fastest time of the day, a 1'55.185s. Unable to further improve on his time as the temperatures went down, the Italian settled for eleventh position in todays results, 0.855s from his teammate. However, Rossi ended up in sixth place in the combined standings, thanks to the 154.732s lap that he set yesterday.
The Movistar #yamaha #motogp Team will return to the Losail circuit in two weeks' time to officially kick off the 2017 #motogp World Championship.
