Movistar Yamaha MotoGP Conclude Thailand Testing
Movistar #yamaha MotoGP's #valentinorossi and #maverickvinales ended the third and final day of #motogp testing in Buriram, Thailand, securing 10th and 12th place respectively in today's rankings.
Using his time from yesterday as a benchmark, Rossi had a clear target whilst completing his testing schedule. He tried some tyre specs, evaluated various settings and worked on the electronics, so by the end of the day his pace was noticeably quicker on the final run.
The Italian completed 70 laps in total and wrapped up the third day of testing in tenth place, posting a best time of 1'30.511s on lap 69, 0.730s off the front. This result put him in 12th position in the combined timesheets.
Viñales started the session again as soon as the green light at the end of pit lane went on. He was eager to try out the new setting he found yesterday, as well as making some final decisions on the engine and the chassis. However, he was unable to find the same feeling he had the day before.
Though he was unable to beat his time from yesterday, the Spaniard went the extra mile to provide feedback, completing 69 laps in total. His best effort, a 1'30.590s set on lap 66, put him in 12th place in today's testing results, 0.809s from the top. His best Day-2 time, a 1'30.274s, earned him eighth place in the combined Day 1-2-3 standings.
