Honda also had an all-new
machine, but Marc Marquez had
a fast crash on it on the first day,
and after that was riding a hybrid.
Cal Crutchlow also tested the 2020
prototype, reporting "small advan-
tages, but a bit better in the braking
zone, which is what we were look-
ing for."
A new engine also for Suzuki
pleased riders Alex Rins and Joan
Mir, reporting a clear improve-
ment in power; while at Ducati the
emphasis was on a chassis update,
with the aim of improving the Des-
mosedici's corner speed.
"We tried a new direction on the
first day, and it feels positive—but
this is not the track to be sure. We
will know more when we try it again
