2023 Jerez MotoGP Test results - Monday (FINAL)

Final lap times during Monday’s official post-race MotoGP test at Jerez, Spain.

01 May 2023

Marco Bezzecchi, MotoGP, Spanish MotoGP, 28 April

Following Sunday’s Spanish MotoGP, riders and teams were back in action at Jerez for a day of official testing.

The technical updates included aero parts, plus the long-rumoured new Kalex frame for HRC test rider Stefan Bradl. The German fell at 2pm while testing some new black aero on the Kalex (Bradl's second bike used one of the previous Honda frames).

Repsol's Joan Mir (who briefly tried the Kalex after Bradl fell, but suffered a technical problem on his first lap) and LCR's Alex Rins (who like team-mate Takaaki Nakagami didn't try the Kalex) also fell today.

Fabio Quartararo tried a new Yamaha chassis, exhaust and aero - which made small differences - and joined Aleix Espargaro and Jonas Folger in testing a prototype helmet radio system, which could be introduced to warn riders of urgent safety risks such as oil or fallen bikes on track, plus red flags.

VR46 Ducati riders Marco Bezzecchi and Luca Marini finished the test on top of the timesheets, the lack of upgrades for their GP22s meaning they were able to focus on setting fast laps in the high grip conditions (with new tyres at the end), plus practice starts.

PICS: 'Kalex’ frame at Honda, more new aero for KTM

RNF's Miguel Oliveira missed the test due to his shoulder dislocation in Sunday's race. Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savadori rode Oliveira's RS-GP in preparation for a possible replacement role for the French Grand Prix at Le Mans from May 14-16.

Iker Lecuona, who replaced the injured Marc Marquez during the Grand Prix, was not riding. Today's test, the first available to full-time MotoGP riders since the start of the 2023 world championship, took place from 10:00-18:00.

The next official test is not until after Misano, in September.
