2023 MotoGP: Shakedown testing starts at Sepang
Shakedown testing for the 2023 MotoGP season starts today at Sepang International Circuit with team test riders taking out brand new race machinery. Currently out on track are the Honda Test Team, the Ducati Lenovo Team, Yamaha Test Team and Aprilia Racing.
Also in attendance is GASGAS Factory Racing Tech 3 with rookie rider Augusto Fernandez given special dispensation by race organisers Dorna to attend the test and clock track time. Fernandez, having been crowned Moto 2 World Champion in 2022, is the sole rookie on the grid and is riding the rebranded KTM RC16.
Typically, MotoGP shakedown testing is performed by factory test riders to collect data and test new components and improvements to the racing motorcycles. Among factory test riders taking to the wet track at SIC are Stefan Bradl of Honda, Michele Pirro of Ducati, Lorenzo Salvadori of Aprilia Racing, Jonas Folger of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing and Cal Crutchlow of Yamaha., racing as a satellite team for Aprilia after leaving Yamaha in 2022.
Coming with diverse and extensive experience in heavy engineering, Mohan enjoys making anything with wheels go fast, especially motorcycles. His weapon of choice is the Desmoquattro engine, and he has a penchant for anything with a dash of Italian design. Strangely enough, he insists he's a slow rider.
