Folger hits the top four: fastest rookie at Phillip Island
Jonas Folger, P4: "Today was another good day and we can head home feeling positive for the future and happy about what we accomplished at Phillip Island.

Viñales ends test day fifth fastest

Anyway, I’m happy because if you see the classification of those who had soft tyres, we are third, and furthermore we could make very good steps forward.” Source link
