The three-day race for MotoGP at the Catalunya circuit starts today. The track was built in 1991 and modified in 1995. It has a total length of 4.727 meters and a width of 12 meters. The turns are 5 on the left and 8 on the right with the longest straight reaching 1.047 meters.
After the race in Le Mans where the weather did in Catalonia, it is expected to have a hot weather and the tires to play a decisive role. Lorenzo with the victory took his head with 8 points difference from the second Stoner who left us up when he announced he is leaving at the end of the season!
The Doctor made his best appearance and Ducati has done many tests shortly after LeMans to make the counterattack.
The battle of Tech3 Yamaha between Dovizioso & Crutchlow is expected to be big, which gives us another note in this year's MotoGP.
