Those results don't tell you that there were 3 2020 RC 213 V's yardsaled today.
The older Marquez completely destroyed his. AM and Bradl were a bit easier on theirs.

Well, considering to AM was tip toeing around the track, almost 3 seconds off Quatararo, it probably isn't a good sign that he ended up in the kitty litter.
Mir looks like if he's 10 years old. Rins is still a bit iffy on the new Suzuki engine, even though his best lap was with the new engine.

Fabio binned it pretty well also.
The weather didn't make turns 4 and 10 any easier.

I saw the AM crash, similar to most HRC crashes this year, front end washout
That's how Fabio crashed also.
What I didn’t see was Dovi’s opinion of the new parts. Petrucci missed most of the session
The only noise from Ducati was Ciabatti's cry of bullshit re: the Miller/Petrucci/Zarco rumors.

Yep, that’s all I found as well. Not sure how much they have to test in Valencia. Generally they only have a few parts, but not a whole new bike. The issues with turning will not be fixed with just a new fairing
Some footage from today. Official site hasn’t posted yet.

Iannone's bike caught fire mid lap. :o Quick stop!
Edit: it blew up on the main straight.
Jack took over Petruccis testing duties doing a lot of work comparing the 2019 bike and 2020 prototype with back to back testing. Petrucci's shoulder was playing up badly and could do no more than 10 laps.
And Jack provided decent feedback of the 2020 bike

Why would he want a bike that would make other Honda riders more competitive?

Iannone was not happy. It looked like he'd bite off people's heads when he got back to the box.
Wish I spoke Italian. [evil]
Wasn’t too pleased. Something along the lines of what the make the beast with two backss wrong with you guys.
Dovi happy with the focus on the chassis. It sounds like they will be focused on further testing it in Jerez next week.
