MotoGP, First challenge on Panigale V4 between Marquez and Bagnaia in Portimão

We’ll soon be seeing the MotoGP riders in action again at the beginning of February, during the Sepang tests. But as they wait to fly to Malaysia, they’re going to give us a little taste of what we can expect at the end of the month. January 29th to 30th, on the Portimão track, the Ducati riders will be testing on the Panigale V4.

Since prototypes aren’t allowed, as per regulations, they decided to rely on road bikes. This will be a chance to see the first challenge of the new year between Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez, without leaving out Martin, Bastianini, Bezzecchi, Alex Marquez, Di Giannantonio, and Morbidelli.

The two-day portughese event is organized by the Ducati Aruba team, busy in their second time out after the Jerez tests. All the factory riders from the Superbike World Championship will also be present.
