T
he final pre-season test for the
MotoGP World Championship
ended on Sunday in Qatar and
it was both a good and bad day
to be named Espargaro. Good if
you are older brother, Aleix. Not
so good if you're the younger
brother, Pol.
Aleix Espargaro ended up the
fastest of the three-day test by
virtue of his 1:54.874 on the final
day on his NGM Forward Mobile
Racing Yamaha; his brother Pol,
meanwhile, ended up with a bro-
ken collarbone after crashing out
with just two laps to go in his race
simulation. The MotoGP rookie
and non-defending Moto2 World
Champion did, however, clock
the second fastest lap of the test
– a lap that was just .033 of a
second behind Aleix.
Aleix Espargaro's best lap on
the "Open" class Yamaha was
just .2 of a second off the 2013
