Jagoan baru tim Movistar Yamaha, Maverick Vinales, benar-benar tebar ancaman bagi para pesaingnya di MotoGP 2017 mendatang.
Pasalnya, setelah menguasai sesi tes hari pertama MotoGP Valencia (15/11), di hari kedua kemarin, pembalap asal Spanyol ini sukses menjadi yang tercepat dengan catatan waktu 1 menit 29,975 detik. Vinales mengalahkan catatan waktu Marc Marquez di posisi kedua dengan selisih 0,196 detik.
Di hari terakhir tes Valencia ini juga menjadi ajang pengenalan motor bagi pendatang baru di ajang balap motor tercepat. Di antaranya Johann Zarco dan Jonas Folger di Tech 3 Yamaha, Alex Rins di Suzuki dan Sam Lowes di Aprilia.
Pekan depan, Yamaha akan melakukan tes privat di sirkuit Sepang, Malaysia. Sedangkan pabrikan lainnya mengikuti tes resmi di Jerez, Spanyol. (otorider.com)
