With the current MotoGP bikes so hard to learn and testing cut to a minimum, rookie riders, in this case Karel Abraham and his new MotoGP Cardion AB Motoracing team will be permitted extra testing sessions.
Abraham and his team will be at Jerez alongside Moto2 and Superbike teams who have also booked track time this week from the 24th to the 26th, honing their knowledge of the Ducati Desmosedici (the new 2011 version will be available at Sepang in February, with Valentino Rossi’s Valencia test feedback) with several Ducati Corse techs that will follow the new team in their 2011 debut.
The Czech rider who finished a very honourable 16th during the Valencia tests, just a few tenths from Rossi, will be trying out not only Nicky Hayden’s GP10 that he used at Valencia, but also Casey Stoner’s machine during the upcoming test.
