Jerez MotoGP Test Round Up: A Lot Of Work, But How Much Progress? Testing after a race is always tricky affair. There is a weekend's worth of Michelin rubber on the track, and then another 24 riders spend all day laying down yet more rubber - a grand total of 1706 between all of them, for a total distance of 7545.638 kilometers. By the end of the day, the conditions are just not going to get much better.

That means you have to treat the times with a touch of caution, and as a MotoGP rider and team, be careful how you interpret what you are feeling. "We know that every time the tests are a bit unrealistic for the grip level," fastest rider Fabio Di Giannantonio told us at the end of the day at Jerez. "For this reason, the focus was to understand what a part does, let's say. Just about the comments, not about the lap time or whatever. Just to understand the characteristic of that part and whether to use it or not at the next few rounds."
