Hiroshi Aoyama has yet to be officially confirmed in Team Gresini, but the Japanese rider is wearing Honda Gresini clothing and we’ve seen his Honda RC212V bike with his racing number 7 at Valencia.
Aoyama will be teamed up with Marco Simoncelli, who will be testing a new fairing and suspensions on his bike.
Regarding the test, Loris Capirossi went out for a couple of laps as did Ducati’s Franco Battaini and Valentino Rossi is now preparing to leaving the Ducati garage with his new bike.
