After Aragon, testing continued at a private test at the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona. Present were test riders for Yamaha (Andrea Dovizioso), Honda (Aleix Espargaro), Ducati (Michele Pirro), and KTM (Dani Pedrosa and Pol Espargaro), along with the Prima Pramac Yamaha riders Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira, making use of the concessions which Yamaha has. Factory Yamaha riders Fabio Quartararo and Alex Rins were not present at the test, as Yamaha have to ration out even the generous allocation of 280 tires available for testing.
The private test at Barcelona was much anticipated because it was the first time that [Yamaha publicly acknowledged that its V4 would be riding](/news/2025/06/11/yamaha_give_first_hint_of_v4_motogp_bike.html). Test rider Andrea Dovizioso was riding the V4, while Miller and Oliveira concentrated on the inline four M1. The timing recorded times for two different bikes ridden by Dovizioso, though we know nothing about the specifications of those bikes. Likely at least one of them was the inline four M1, but both bikes could be M1s, or both bikes could be V4s, or any combination of the two.
Also present at the test, along with BSB rider Tommy Bridewell, were a large group of Moto2 riders. Australian Senna Agius was fastest, ahead of Manu Gonzalez, fresh off his test on the Trackhouse Aprilia at Aragon. Also present was Red Bull KTM Ajo Moto3 rider Jose Antonio Rueda. The current Moto3 championship leader was being rewarded for his dominance of Moto3 by getting a test on a Moto2 bike. Current Red Bull KTM Ajo Moto2 rider Collin Veijer was also present, the Dutchman still recovering from a Galeazzi fracture of the radius in his right arm, but he was not yet fit enough to ride.
