Jerez MotoGP test times - Tuesday (FINAL)
A rain-interrupted final day of 2019 MotoGP action took place during testing at Jerez on Tuesday.
Marc Marquez and Rins beat their best Monday times on their very first runs but the forecast rain arrived shortly after midday, prompting some riders to finish testing for the year while others headed out for some wet laps.
Meanwhile, Marquez's right shoulder will need further investigation and perhaps even surgery after his day one tumble.
A rain-interrupted final day of 2019 MotoGP action took place during testing at Jerez on Tuesday.
Marc Marquez and Rins beat their best Monday times on their very first runs but the forecast rain arrived shortly after midday, prompting some riders to finish testing for the year while others headed out for some wet laps.
Meanwhile, Marquez's right shoulder will need further investigation and perhaps even surgery after his day one tumble.
UPDATE: Marc Marquez will undergo shoulder surgery tomorrow.
Yamaha's Vinales held a commanding 0.754s advantage over the field on day one and, just as at Valencia last week, was quickest overall.
Marc's team-mate and younger brother Alex was based in the Repsol Honda pits for the first time and was top rookie on both days.
Having split from Karel Abraham over the weekend, Avintia is yet to confirm the arrival of Johann Zarco and instead gave MotoE rider Eric Granado his MotoGP debut on a GP18.
Miguel Oliveira and Takaaki Nakagami were absent, as they continue to recover from shoulder surgery, but Danilo Petrucci was back in action after shoulder tendonitis at Valencia.
The opening test of 2020 will be held at Sepang, in February...
