Jorge Lorenzo sukses menjadi pembalap tercepat di tes pra musim MotoGP 2016 di Sepang, Malaysia pada Rabu (3/2). Posisinya diikuti rekan setim Lorenzo, yakni Valentino Rossi yang mencetak waktu tercepat kedua.
Hasil ini persis seperti raihan yang didapat pada hari pertama sesi tes (1/2) lalu. Sedangkan pencetak waktu ketiga didapat oleh Marc Marquez. Sementara Cal Crutchlow menyabet posisi empat.
Yang menarik, Casey Stoner yang berstatus sebagai test rider Ducati sukses masuk posisi lima besar, hanya dengan tiga hari tes. Padahal, Stoner sudah lama gantung helm sejak 2012 silam. Stoner bahkan menjadi rider Ducati terkencang di hari ketiga ini, mengalahkan dua pembalap utama mereka, Andrea Iannone dan Andrea Dovizioso. (otorider.com)
