The coroanavirus gives Dorna good reason to expedite their plans. To have the whole world championship hosted in Spain!
Also, this is a good interview from a while back with Jack Miller if you have a spare 3 hours...
It covers his pretty much his whole life and he speaks in his normal Aussie accent (in fact the second half gets pretty bogan with lots of f's and c's).
Reports that Petrucci has signed for KTM meaning that Pol Espargaro has signed for Repsol Honda. Nothing can be announced till September 15 as per Pol's current contract with KTM.
Also, WADA are chasing Iannone getting 4 years instead of his current 2 year sanction which leaves Aprilia's future up in the air. Cal Crutchlow could be an option as a replacement as he's expected to lose his ride to Alex Marquez. I'd expect them to go with a young Italian like Baldasarri or Bastianini.
Cal back to WSB on a Honda is my guess
That was a helluva first session for the year!

The top 19 within 1 second.
Binder and Lecuona in the top 10 on debut.
Didn’t see the testing but noticed Vale was 3rd after first day which was nice to see.
Is he going to Petronas?
Another entertaining free practice session
Marquez likely to be penalised for - yet again - cruising on the racing line and ruining Alex Rins flying lap forcing him to miss direct qualification into Q2.
