Aprilia Looks Strong in First Test of the 850cc Era, Bezzecchi Leads the Way at Brno

Curious what actually changes on the MotoGP machines once it goes to 850cc.

Aprilia getting a head start right at the dawn of a new era is genuinely exciting.

This 1000-to-850 transition period reminds me of when the 990 was introduced back in 2002.

With this being the first test on 850cc and Pirelli tires, the conditions are too unpredictable to take the current times at face value.

Top times in testing can easily be manufactured with a light fuel load, so take it with a grain of salt.

Bezzecchi and Fernandez going one-two for Aprilia feels almost too good to be true.
