"This morning we did two flying laps in the dry," Brad Binder told us when he came to speak to the media earlier. That sums up the Mugello test so far. It rained overnight, leaving the track damp. It dried up briefly for a few riders to start to lap, before the rain came again. It nearly dried again before the rain came a second time, and heavier.
Riders are circulating, mostly testing wet setups and electronics. But many have just left the track without circulating. The weather has wrecked a lot of plans. There is a small chance the track may dry up later, but there is still plenty of rain round in the Tuscan hills.
