    -----------------

    Heavy rain throughout the day meant no action for most of the WorldSBK grid at Jerez for the first test of the year. Nothing was to be learned in the wet, and so the day was spent sitting in garages hoping for better weather. Maverick ViƱales, who had been intending to test on a Yamaha R1 production bike, decided to abandon the test altogether.

    No such luxury for HRC MotoGP test rider Stefan Bradl, who put in a total of 20 laps on the RC213V, as he worked his way through a list of test items for the 2021 Honda MotoGP machine. Bradl was joined on track by Leonardo Taccini, Orelac World Supersport rider, making his debut on the ZX-6RR.

    All hope is now on better weather tomorrow, though the forecast is not positive. Light rain is forecast for most of the day.
