World Champion Pecco Bagnaia, Marc Marquez, Marco Bezzecchi and Valentino Rossi were all on track on Monday in Portimao, as the MotoGP™ stars shake off the cobwebs ahead of the Sepang Test getting underway next week. Riding alongside some leading WorldSBK contenders, the premier class riders jumped aboard standard Superbike machinery for the day.
Lenovo Ducati's Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini were joined by Prima Pramac Racing's Franco Morbidelli, Pertamina Enduro VR46's Bezzecchi and Fabio Di Giannantonio, plus the Gresini Racing duo of Marc and Alex Marquez. The seven were seen riding Ducati Panigale V4S machines, whilst Repsol Honda's Luca Marini was also in attendance on a Honda Fireblade.
Completing the full line-up of VR46 Academy men in Portimao was Red Bull KTM Ajo's Celestino Vietti, plus the boss himself, with Rossi riding an impressive-looking Yamaha R1 as the nine-time World Champion kept his eye in on two wheels.
