MotoGP: Honda on track for private Brno test

The MotoGP summer break may mean a one-month gap in the racing, but it's not a complete rest with several manufacturers conducting private test sessions.

Following the German Grand Prix, KTM held a test in Aragon with Honda next in action courtesy of two days at Brno, which concludes on Tuesday evening.

World championship leader Marc Marquez and Repsol Honda team-mate Dani Pedrosa are being joined by last year's Czech winner Cal Crutchlow (LCR) for the outing.

The Spanish media report thata new chassis is available, aimed at improving acceleration, as well as the chance to gather set-up data for the 2017 race on August 4-6.
