Rain At Rio Hondo On Day Two In Argentina
The second day of MotoGP tests at the Rio Hondo circuit in Argentina ruined the second planned day of testing for the few teams present on Friday. Alvaro Bautista was only able to complete a handful of laps on his RC213V machine as he gathered basic data ahead of next year's race, which has recently been confirmed as a definite addition to the calendar through until 2016. It was only towards the end of the afternoon when the track started to dry that the riders were able to go out and put on a brief show for the thousands of fans, many of whom were witnessing MotoGP in their home country for the first time. After a whistle-stop trip to South America, Bautista now returns to Europe for the next round of the current season, which takes place next weekend at the Sachsenring circuit in Germany.
