As we know, after the fifth Grand Prix at Le Mans, Honda, Yamaha and Aprilia did not immediately take a break. . These three MotoGP manufacturers immediately went to Mugello to undergo a Joint Private Test there. Even Honda and Yamaha fielded a complete squad of both their regular racers and test riders, while Aprilia only fielded Lorenzo Savadori.
There is no report regarding the lap time produced, however, several videos uploaded by the public who had the opportunity to see the testing session which was held on a perfect track, aka dry, can more or less show what was tested by the three manufacturers there. Mugello is famous for its flowing circuit complete with straights. Super long. So it’s not wrong if there is a lot of speculation predicting that Yamaha will especially present a new machine with better top-end Tweak Power there. What is visible is that neither Quartararo nor Rins are using completely new fairings in this test.
The fairings tested by the two Yamaha riders were more of a comparative test between the early 2024 fairings as an initial benchmark compared to the Jerez Test style combination fairing which features three pairs of bladed winglets at the front but with a stegosaurus stern design that is still maintained.
Meanwhile, Honda has tested many comparisons between the early 2024 fairing and the combination fairing, where for example Zarco uses the early 2024 front fairing combined with the Jerez style side fairing with the Jerez test style Burita Gowang but minus the air gutters.
Meanwhile, Marini and Mir For example are still testing the early 2024 version of the stern which is combined with both the 2024 fairing and the Jerez version of the fairing. Nakagami was seen testing the standard 2024 version only.
Meanwhile, the Aprilia RSGP RSGP tested by Savadori looks simple, aka quite simple compared to the RSGP they are currently racing on. The tail is very simple, slim, and has minimal winglets while the front is the base version from 2024. Occasionally Savadori can even be seen testing the updated Jerez test side fairing but without the air gutters.
