A single testing day is a moment of focus for a rider, arguably more intense than race day itself. Quietly resyncing your own breathing with the machine, from corner entry to exit. Petrucci and Dixon are both seasoned men. What they show at the British round is genuinely something to look forward to.

My image of Petrucci was strongly MotoGP, but he's racing in WorldSBK too.

Are both of them just one-off entries, or is it a full-season return?

The way the article's written reads like it's a UK-round-only return, probably just a one-off wildcard entry.

Honestly not sure how much you can gauge from just one day of testing - how it plays out for real is still an open question.

With Dixon's test done too, sounds like solid prep is underway for the real thing.

Looking forward to seeing Petrucci back in WorldSBK at the UK round.
