MotoGP Day 1 testing at Jerez
 |
| Marc Marquez |
The MotoGP Teams started their final test of 2018 today, before the mandatory winter break. The first day of the two-day session, held at Jerez de la Frontera (Spain), was blessed by perfect weather conditions. Only in the morning were the asphalt and air temperatures a bit chilly, prompting most riders to wait until noon before taking to the track.
The test will end tomorrow.
