MotoGP Yamaha: gearbox shown promisse, will debut in the race Thursday, 08 August 2013 18:08 by Matteo Aglio - MotoGP Yesterday Valentino Rossi had joked on Twitter commenting on the picture of a sleeping Uccio you see below: " today in Brno very important test for the second half of the season. The tension was palpable . " But while using the irony, the Doctor was not lying.

The engineers of Iwata arrived late compared to the competition, but they seem to have done their job properly. Both Rossi and Lorenzo had two bikes equipped with the new special and both have passed with flying colors. So much so that his race debut is expected before the end of the season .

For the rest of the day passed without too much trouble at least for Lorenzo, who completed 71 laps, more than the distance of about three races. Rossi meanwhile was involved in a minor inconvenience to a motorcycle , taken from a viewer who posted this in the network. The Doctor has stagnated into the escape routes to wait for the intervention of a technician. There are no known ufficialmento the causes of the failure, but the culprit should not be change but a detail of little consequence . Because of the unexpected, Valentino has only run 47 laps.
