After agreeing a new contract with San Carlo Gresini Honda and HRC in Motegi Marco Simoncelli was again underway on Monday after a Grand Prix test bittersweet for 1000 cc motorcycle that will run next year. It was a great opportunity to discover the potential of the RC213V and give advice to the Human Rights Council, and was a fun day for Marco, who now heads to the Philippines for a short break before the next round of World Championship MotoGP at Phillip Island in Australia.

“The big day finally came and I had the opportunity to test the bike that will ride the Team San Carlo Honda Gresini colors next year. It was a fantastic experience out of the RC213V and would like to thank HRC for the opportunity. I completed 50 laps and quickly felt confident with the new bike, setting similar times back to the RC212V. At the end of the day I gave my opinion and suggestions, which I hope will be important in the development of the bike here. Now I’m taking a few days relaxing on the island of Boracay in the Philippines before the next race at Phillip Island. “
