Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden will be getting their first chance to ride and most importantly test the first GP12 prototype bike at Jerez.
Rossi will be getting one-on-one time today, while team mate Nicky Hayden will ride it on Saturday and this we didn’t expect, considering that most of the development feedback comes from Rossi.
The new machine was given a shakedown yesterday by Franco Battaini and team manager Vitto Guareschi, ahead of the factory riders arrival at the Spanish track, that will be closed to the public, but hopefully someone will decide to play paparazzi and post some sort of spy shot, however we don’t expect it will be coming from Nicky Hayden after he leaked a pic of the GP10 and got soundly scolded for it.
