Luca Marini finished at the top of the MotoGP tests at Sepang, again giving good indications for what will be his third season in the premier class – having already topped the Valencia tests last november.

The Mooney VR46 Racing Team Ducati rider didn’t hide his satisfaction with the work done, telling the press that it was an ideal start:

– A great way to start this season. It was a fantastic test. I think the program we made was amazing and I’m really happy that we tested everything we needed to test in this test. We improved the bike, we improved the engine braking, the traction area, the feeling with the bike, the setup, the feeling with the front end. In my opinion, it was a really perfect test, we worked very well.
