MotoGP is the premier motorcycle racing world championship; an
18-race series visiting 14 countries, four continents and with
pan-global television coverage. Seven nationalities of the
world’s most skilled riders line a grid armed with cutting-edge
motorcycle technology with prototype machinery fielded by four
manufacturers: Ducati, Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki.
The Yamaha Factory Racing Team completed the first test of the
2012 season at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.
Riders Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies spent the three track days
working to develop the base set up of the 1000cc YZR-M1 ahead of
the second Sepang test in one month’s time.
