The Tech 3 bikes came out for FP3 with a modified tail section. As Simon said, it looks pretty cool. We’ll see if they like it. Maybe one of the factory bikes will race with it. (?)

Very impressive indeed.
Italy is pumping out the talent in numbers that Spain was a while back. Is he another VR Academy talent? He's Spanish but did he go to the Academy?

Jorge is Spanish. Redbull Rookies system product. No contact with the VR system, AFAIK.

I guess Spain don't need the VR Academy with their structure.

Quick-fire qualifying.

[koko64]

Jorge is Spanish.

Was on a date with a beautiful Catalan woman, a long time ago. Getting confused between the Catalan and Spanish cultures didn't end well

[koko64]
