E120 Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez at Qatar Pre-Season Test of 201
Cycle World | 2017
After two official tests in Malaysia and Australia and a day of private testing in Jerez, the Repsol Honda riders continued their preparations at the scene of the opening Grand Prix of the season: Losail Circuit. Dani Pedrosa and Marc Márquez finished in 8th and 12th, respectively, the first of a three-day test that will conclude on Sunday night, a fortnight before the start of 2017 World Championship. In Qatar, Repsol Honda riders continued with the development of the Honda RC213V and worked on setups, electronics and aerodynamics. <br /> <br />Losail's 1.06km straight –the longest of the three circuits where official tests are held–, its combination of fast corners and the fact that it is contested at night, make it a good preparation point for the season curtain raiser.
