Meski sudah tak lagi membalap di kelas MotoGP sejak 2013 silam, namun mantan juara dunia, Casey Stoner masih kencang. Buktinya, di hari pertama sesi tes pra musim MotoGP di Sepang, Malaysia (30/1), rider asal Australia tersebut sukses jadi yang tercepat.
Yup, menguji Ducati Desmosedici GP17 sepanjang 32 lap, Stoner mampu mencetak waktu 1 menit 59,680 detik, atau 0,117 detik di depan Andrea Dovizioso yang juga mengandalkan motor yang sama.
Posisi ketiga ditempati Maverick Vinales yang merupakan jagoan baru tim Movistar Yamaha. Menariknya, pembalap-pembalap unggulan seperti Valentino Rossi, Marc Marquez dan Jorge Lorenzo gagal menembus posisi lima besar di hari pertama kali ini. (otorider.com)
