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

[ducpainter]

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

[ducpainter]

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. Quick stop!
Edit: it blew up on the main straight.

[koko64]

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.

[duccarlos]

And Jack provided decent feedback of the 2020 bike
