June 17th Is Ride To Work Day
As you may already know, Ride to Work Day is always observed on the third Monday in June, ostensibly to celebrate the joy of motorcycle riding, but it’s also an opportunity to send a positive message to the non-riding public. (Like we need a reason, right?) But to make a greater impact on those who don’t get our passion, we’re still encouraging all motorcyclists (and scooter riders) to ride to work this Monday. The official title of the event is the 28th annual International Motorcycle and Scooter Ride to Work Day, so even if you’re on a Zuma or a Metropolitan, get your butt out there.

A 1:42.136 puts EG 0,0 Marc VDS’ Mike Di Meglio in fourth on the opening day at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, but it wasn’t such a successful day for fellow Frenchman Randy de Puniet.

Nico Terol (Openbank Angel Nieto Team) rounded out the top five with a 1:42.155.

Viñales completes 98 laps to head Morbidelli in testing
Marquez had three HRC bikes at his disposal for the test: one standard, one with a carbon covered frame and one that looks to be Takaaki Nakagami’s 2018 model. The number 93 completed 80 laps on Monday, but it wasn’t all so smooth. Marquez crashed at Turn 4, with teammate Jorge Lorenzo going down at Turn 9 – riders ok. In the LCR Honda garage, Nakagami got to try a 2019-spec RC213V, with Cal Crutchlow having some aerodynamic parts to test for HRC – Lorenzo also circulated with a new aero package.

Petronas Yamaha SRT’s road to a MotoGP™ podium
Two years later, in 2018, the team would expand further by entering a bike on the Moto2™ grid.

Miller left baffled by Suzuki’s tyre life
“But I got away at the start really well, I was maybe in tenth or eight on the first lap, it was a really solid first lap. I was seventh on lap two and I went into the corner seventh and came out third, with a little help from George, so that was alright. But no, I’m sorry for those guys. It was a good old race with myself, Petrux, Fabio and Rins.”
