2024 Barcelona MotoGP Test Notes: What Was Each Factory Testing At Barcelona?

What are we to make of the Barcelona MotoGP test? For a start, there was a lot going on. With 6 riders changing manufacturers (Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi from Ducati to Aprilia, Maverick Viñales from Aprilia to KTM, Enea Bastianini from Ducati to KTM, Miguel Oliveira from Aprilia to Yamaha and Jack Miller from KTM to Yamaha), 3 riders changing teams (Marc Márquez from Gresini to Ducati Lenovo, Franco Morbidelli from Pramac to VR46, and Pedro Acosta from Tech3 to Red Bull KTM Factory), and 3 rookies (Somkiat Chantra to LCR Honda, Ai Ogura to Trackhouse Aprilia, and Fermin Aldeguer to Gresini Ducati). Plus Aleix Espargaro becoming a Honda test rider after spending the last 8 years in Aprilia.

There was also quite a lot of new parts being tested, and the basic prototypes of the 2025 bikes for Aprilia and Ducati. There was a lot of aero, a couple of engines, an exhaust or two, and frames as far as the eye could see.
