At the Misano Pro Day organized by Vmoto was Jorge Lorenzo. The five-time world champion Spaniard got to ride the Cagiva C594, the iconic bike produced by the Varese-based manufacturer ridden with John Kocinski.
The evolution of the V593 turned out to be the best Grand Prix Cagiva ever built, which allowed John Kocinski to place 3rd at the end of the championship.
The bike was equipped with an ECU with 3 different ignition mappings and with an engine tachometer with digital-band speed display, with a 14,000 rpm bottom end. The swingarm returns to aluminum, while in the final part of the championship the carbon solution will reappear.
This bike was used for the last time in 1995 by Pierfrancesco Chili at the Italian Grand Prix because of Cagiva's abandonment of racing. Jorge Lorenzo at the end of the test gives his thoughts on this icon of the past and relates it to today's MotoGP.
