There is nothing left for the start of the MotoGP World Championship at the Portuguese GP
This weekend the last pre-season tests will take place
MotoGP warms up engines and this weekend the last pre-season test prior to the start of MotoGP 2023. These tests, which will be carried out in the Portimao Circuitthey will be definitive to see at what point each team is and who is prepared to face ducati.
During the sepang testthe dominance of the Bologna factory was incontestable and only Aprilia managed to sneak between the Ducatis in the first nine places. The only non-Italian bike in the Top 10: Marc Marquez. However, the eight-time world champion is not worth it. After Sepang, Márquez gave Honda a public wake-up call: He wanted improvements or his future would be considered.
The Portimao tests will be the acid test. A month later, the pilots will see if the factories have listened to their feedback and if they have been able to deliver. It will be the last chance to get the best set-up possible before the first Big prize.
