PARIS: Honda’s Pol Espargaro topped the time sheets as MotoGP pre-season testing concluded in Indonesia today with the Spaniard declaring “I’ve never been so fast”.
Espargaro secured the third and final day honours on the all new Mandalika Circuit by a mere 0.014 seconds from Yamaha’s defending world champion Fabio Quartararo.
Espargaro’s brother Aleix rode his Aprilia into third with less than a second covered the leading 20 riders.
Former champion Joan Mir was forced to skip the session with a suspected bout of food poisoning.
The new season opens in Qatar on March 6 with Indonesia hosting the second race a fortnight later.
