Sometimes you have to deal with the unexpected and Honda has been having some problems at Sepang. Its bikes, arriving from Spain in Malaysia, were in fact stuck in Dubai and yesterday the test team was unable to participate in the first day of the shakedown. The mechanics managed to prepare the new RC213Vs for today, but the problems are not over.
In fact, it seems that test driver Stefan Bradl's leathers did not make it to Sepang either and so he had to take to the track with Pol Espargarò's. You can clearly see from the photo above the number 44 of the Spaniard on his boots and Polyccio's 'P' peeking out in the lower back. The helmet, on the other hand, is that of the German test rider.
Just in case you’re wondering, there is no third Espargarò brother, but only Bradl in 'disguise'.
