The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will host the final round of the MotoGP season, as well as the first official preseason test for 2025 – two days after the Grand Prix.
The original plans were for Valencia, but Storm Dana forced this last-minute change two weeks prior. Naturally, there are differences between testing at one track versus the other.
For Joan Mir, testing in Barcelona will be advantageous. The Repsol Honda rider admitted that he doesn’t expect a strong result in the GP, but he is curious to try out the new RC213V on the Catalan circuit:
– Barcelona is the worst scenario for our bike, so for the result it’s not fantastic. But in terms of testing there, trying the new bike or the new idea of bike that they have, I think it’s very interesting.
