A number of racers like Fabio Quartararo and Jorge Martin started to heat up in living 2022 Mandalika MotoGP test at the Mandalika Circuit on the second day, Saturday (12/2).
Before the second day of testing began, the weather forecast said that conditions in Mandalika were cloudy since the morning.

Pramac racer Jorge Martin acted in a similar condition. The Spaniard did something a little more ridiculous than Quartararo by opening half his shirt in front of the fan.
“Today’s mood [panas],” said Martin.
