Marquez and Pedrosa ready to start out first pre-season test in Sepang 
Seventy-four days following the Repsol Honda Team ended their successful 2016 campaign in Valencia, reigning MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez and teammate Dani Pedrosa will be ready to go back to action for the very first of three days of testing, starting 30 January at Malaysia’s Sepang International Circuit.

 The Malaysian stint will certainly be the very first from the three official MotoGP Tests that could also bring the Repsol Honda men to Australia (Phillip Island – 15-17 February ) and Qatar (Losail – 10-12 March ) until the 2017 MotoGP World Championship gets underway in Qatar on 26 March.

Following important rule changes introduced inside the series last year, the 2017 season won’t see major updates to technical regulations, using the exception of these regarding aerodynamics—the most conspicuous being the banning of winglets—and the dropping of Michelin’s intermediate tyres.

A noteworthy adjustment to pit-lane rules regards bike swaps just in case of flag-to-flag races ; a maximum of four team staff will certainly be allowed to aid a rider, and they‘ll be required to don helmets, a policy the Repsol Honda Team already voluntarily adopted last year upon the occasion from the Australian GP.
