Late at night after the first day of the Sepang test, David, Neil, and Adam look back at a disastrous day for Aprilia, with both Jorge Martin and Raul Fernandez injured and back to Spain for surgery. Fabio Di Giannantonio also crashed, breaking a collarbone, and was one of several riders to crash. We break down why the crashes happened, why Jorge Martin crashed, and what the consequences will be for the rest of the preseason. And we break down what we saw from the first day of testing from each factory, and ask whether the rumours of Pirelli taking over from Michelin have any meat to them.
