While Honda and Suzuki were testing at Motegi, Yamaha’s MotoGP riders Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi were at Brno also testing.
Strangely enough Yamaha has not released any information regarding the two-day test, and whether they finally debuted the seamless transmission, what other things they were also testing, and also how Lorenzo is feeling after his two collarbone surgeries after his crashes at Assen and Sachsenring.
The two riders just tweeted banalities when they were at Brno:My Yamaha M1,some Bridgestone tyres,my team,the circuit of Brno and 32 degrees wrote Valentino Rossi, while Jorge Lorenzo tweeted “First morning in Brno with plenty to test” and photos of his helmets and one of a fawn (that Lorenzo called Bambi) crossing the track.
While fans of the two riders were able to get into the Brno circuit and post videos on YouTube of the test, that supposedly was supposed to be behind closed doors.
However, rumors from around the web reported that both Rossi and Lorenzo, were able to complete around sixty laps each on Tuesday – the Italian also suffered a harmless crash – and they did test the seamless transmission, that gave both riders an initial and positive feedback.
There was also speculation that Yamaha had also brought the 2014 version of the M1, but no one was able to prove if it was true.
