VALENCIA POST-SEASON / NOVEMBER 28, 2023 RICARDO TORMO CIRCUIT / VALENCIA, SPAIN MOTOGP I WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TEST P62 have a name or, for that matter, an owner. After the debacle that saw 60 percent team owner CryptoDATA kicked out of the series by Dorna and Team Manager Razlan Razali leave the paddock, the crew kicked on with rider Raul Fernandez, as his teammate Miguel Oliveira will be out of action until the first test in Sepang following a shoulder injury suffered in Qatar. Fernandez is really getting the hang of the MotoGP machine now and after finishing fifth in the Valencian MotoGP he backed it up with another fifth in the test after 64 laps, 0.263 seconds off Vinales. Information on just how his test went and what he tested is scarce, but at least he will be on the grid next year, with new owners of the Aprilia Satellite Team expected to be announced soon. CN 1.
