2024 Official Misano MotoGP test: AS IT HAPPENED

All-day coverage of the 2024 in-season official MotoGP test from Misano

2024 Official Misano MotoGP Test - Results

The MotoGP field returns to the Misano circuit just a day after the San Marino Grand Prix for an important day of testing. 

This Misano test will offer a glimpse of 2025 plans for some manufacturers, while for some it will be a chance to try some items and set-ups for the remainder of the season. 

The test begins at 8am UK time and runs until 5pm UK time.

Honda's plan

Luca Marini will be in action today. Joan Mir is on track already.

Johann Zarco and Stefan Bradl have also done their first laps.

10:25
Quartararo goes fastest

Fabio Quartararo became an early leader on the timesheet (1:32.900).

Several riders now on track

Pedro Acosta sets a 1:33s lap. His teammate Augusto Fernandez, and KTM factory rider Brad Binder, are also out.

09:30

Pedro Acosta has gone out on track for a look at the conditions. 

09:06

After an hour of running, the fastest rider is... nobody. 

Track is still empty as it continues to dry. 

08:27

Still no track action so far as the track continues to dry. 

The green surface, though, will be useful for the teams as a lack of grip will help expose bike weak points better. 

08:13

This first session of the day is 3hrs 45mins long, before the riders take a bit of a break before the rest of the test. 

After 15 minutes of the track being open, nobody has gone out yet.

08:10

While test days are important, spare a thought for Marc Marquez.

He didn't have much time to enjoy his Aragon win because there was a race a few days later. And now he's having to do a bit of overtime a day after his San Marino GP victory! 

The Gresini rider noted yesterday he doesn't have much to try today aside from some different set-up ideas. But that will be important as he admitted he still has "some points to discover" yet on the GP23. 

08:05

One of the big things to watch out for today will be Honda. 

We understand it will roll out a vastly different RC213V for its riders to try.

However, we are yet to hear from HRC if Joan Mir and Luca Marini will be able to ride today after missing the San Marino GP with illness. 

08:02

The track has opened for the first of today's track sessions, though overnight rain has left the Misano circuit wet. 

Therefore, we won't be seeing much running for now.

08:01
