Jerez MotoGP test times - Monday (Final)

Following Sunday's Spanish MotoGP, riders returned to the Jerez circuit for the first official test since the start of the season.

Maverick Vi?ales led the way but only just. Marc Marquez was just 0.002s slower. Sunday's race winner Dani Pedrosa was third. Valentino Rossi was just 21st fastest as the factory Yamaha men assessed a new chassis.

One of the main tasks for today was to re-evaluate the stiffer front tyre construction, as used at last year's Valencia season-finale.

The construction was made softer after 'chatter' (vibration) problems at other tracks, however the likes of Valentino Rossi, most Honda riders and Andrea Iannone have since suggested the stiffer front would be better.

The stiffer tyre was available in medium and hard compounds for each rider.

Round five of the world championship takes place at Le Mans from May 19-21...
