I havve a question about testing.....How much are the GP guys allowed to test? Are there specific weekends put aside that are for testing? Are the riders only allowed to test a certain number of times a year? I am curious in the testing schedule as there is some discussion on our local board as to whether or not the GP riders have unlimited testing.

TIA
 
GP Pre Season Tests:

Sepang: 15 - 17 November
Jerez: 27 - 29 November
Sepang: 22 - 24 January

Sepang: 5 - 7 February

Throw in some 125 and 250 tests too..

hmmm... actually there seems to be several questions here. if i'm not mistaken they can test all they want till dec 1 then the test ban starts & lasts thru jan 20?... i think. then testing continues till the official irta tests which are right before the start of the season. considering the cost, time to travel to the test tracks & other commiments, testing week after week is probably a bit unrealistic. then during the season no testing at any tracks on the gp schedual. testing is allowed on a track after that tracks gp has taken place. as far as only being allowed to test a certain number of times a year, i don't think there is any such rule.
