Very chuffed  he is back with Yamaha - all that talent, experience and skills will no doubt serve them well in the continuous development of the M1.

As long as they listen to this [Rossi: “Sure. No problem. I prefer to have Morbidelli as a team-mate. He is a good boy. Oh, and tell George to make sure he doesn’t fuck about with the testing too much. He knows what I like.”

Heck, you make me wish Brad was number 1!  ;)

He got to ride the 2020 MotoGP KTM today during the Shake Down tests at Sepang.  This start-of-season test does not feature official timing and is for new models with their test riders, but open to rookies and the factory riders of the concession teams, currently only Aprilia and KTM.

Dani Pedrosa was fastest on the day and while it doesn't mean much, his time compares well with the fastest time set during a race last year.  Brad did well as well and wasn't that much slower than Dani (just under 1s), or fastest rookie AM73.

https://www.crash.net/motogp/news/935646/1/pedrosa-tops-timesheets-2020-shakedown-starts

2020 Sepang shakedown riders:

Honda: Stefan Bradl, Alex Marquez*

Ducati: Michele Pirro

Yamaha: Jorge Lorenzo, Katsuyuki Nakasuga, Kohta Nozane

Suzuki: Sylvain Guintoli

KTM: Dani Pedrosa, Mika Kallio, Iker Lecuona*, Brad Binder*, Pol Espargaro**, Miguel Oliveira**

Aprilia: Lorenzo Savadori, Bradley Smith, Aleix Espargaro**

*MotoGP rookie

**MotoGP concession rule
