After two days of action at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg for a private MotoGP test that saw most teams and riders in attendance bar Repsol Honda’s Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa, and Aprilia Racing’s Stefan Bradl, Ducati emerged utterly dominant with six of the top 10 places filled by the Bologna company’s riders.
Andrea Iannone was the pacesetter from teammate Andrea Dovizioso with test rider and former two-time World Champion Casey Stoner once again proving he’s lost none of his speed and style by slotting into third place despite a crash on a soft tire that left him unhurt.
Hector Barbera showed his single lap speed once more by taking fourth ahead of the Movistar Yamahas of Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo with the Suzukis of Maverick Vinales, Aleix Espargaro, and Ducati riders Scott Redding and Yonny Hernandez rounding out the top 10.
