Before the start of any MotoGP racing season, pit crews are sent to the manufacturers to learn about the inner workings of the new season’s bikes, that included assembling, set-up and maintenance.
During the Wrooom event, Ducati’s MotoGP mechanics led by Jeremy Burgess were in Bologna getting their schooling on the 90% new GP12, while Cardion AB’s crewchief Marco Grana and his technical team spent two weeks at Ducati, and all Honda teams also get the same schooling regarding their prototype machines.

LCR Honda MotoGP team who will be field reigning Moto2 champion Stefan Bradl this season, spent 10 days in Japan earlier this month at Honda’s R&D center located in the Saitama Prefecture (around 30 minutes from Tokyo city centre) where crew members learned about the new technical features of the RC213V bikes and checking out every single component studying the assembly schemes, checking the maintenance procedures to fine tune the RC213V prototypes ready for next week’s Sepang tests.

Bradl will be riding the RC213V for the first time in Malaysia, as during the post Valencia race tests he rode LCR’s 800cc machine.
