Overview
- Ducati rolled out a wider front fairing, revised wing shapes, a new intake and a metal swingarm with carbon covers during Monday’s Jerez post‑race test, and team leaders said some items should be raced from Le Mans.
- Aprilia riders filled the top three on the test timesheets and reported gains in braking, turning and acceleration, pointing to a clear step with the latest RS‑GP package.
- Marc Márquez focused on regaining front‑tyre feel through aero and chassis changes and finished the test as the fastest Ducati in fourth place.
- Aprilia ran its 850cc 2027 prototype on track on Wednesday at a wet Jerez with tester Lorenzo Savadori, a first outing under rules that cut engine size and restrict aero and ride‑height devices.
- Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo said new fairings, chassis, swingarm, electronics and aero improved front feel without a direct pace gain, underscoring the in‑season push before Le Mans and the next Barcelona test.
