With MotoGP scheduled to race in Argentina in 2014, the MotoGP teams will be heading down to the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit between the Assen and Sachsenring races in July to conduct a two-day test at the track, as well as take part in a number of promotional activities. The test, to be organized by Dorna, will see a number of teams participate, with Dorna announcing that teams representing the three factories racing in MotoGP will at least be present at the circuit.

Exactly which teams will attend is not entirely clear. The press release is worded vaguely, saying only that Honda, Yamaha and Ducati teams will be present. Given that the factory Ducati team was absent at the private test organized at Austin - and given that Ducati hopes to be a lot more competitive in 2014 than they were in 2013 - it seems obvious that Ducati will attend the test. According to GPOne.com, the Monster Tech 3 Yamaha and Pramac Ducati teams are also likely to attend, as will the Gresini Honda squad.
