Riders called it interesting, some took the bus checking on the track, some liked the mix of corners, while some saw it as a \u201cfun layout\u201d <\/p>\n

A day ahead of the IndianOil Grand Prix of India practice session, top MotoGP riders seemed pretty happy with the Buddh International Circuit. The new circuit on the block has got them curios and raring to go as the action begins on Friday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some called it interesting, some took the bus checking on the track, some liked the mix of corners, while some saw it as a \u201cfun layout\u201d. Whatever each one has to think, it\u2019s the race enthusiasts and fans who are going to enjoy every bit of it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the layout of the track is interesting. It\u2019s nice and different compared to a lot of other tracks. So, I think would be great,\u201d said defending champion and Ducati Lenovo Team rider Francesco Bagnaia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jorge Martin of Prima Primac Racing, who finished first at the San Marino Grand Prix two weeks ago, took a bus, rode a bicycle on the track to get the feel of it, commented, \u201cI really like the layout. It will be really interesting. I\u2019m so excited to go on the track, and I think, as Pego (Bagnaia) said, it\u2019s a bit different to what we are used to. So, yeah, we\u2019re looking forward for tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eight-time world champion Marc Marquez has already been here before. He expects the track to play out as it did on his Repsol Honda. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the circuits that from the layout looks really nice. But if the grip is good, then will be even nicer,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just the track that has left the riders impressed, some are more than happy with how things are and Mooney VR46 Racing Team rider Marco Bezzecchi minced no words. \u201cTo be honest, I liked it a lot. The padlock is very well organised, the plain is very beautiful, and we will know about the track only after riding on it, but it looks fantastic. A mix of corners that I really like. Of course, the longest plate is impressive because I think it’s very long, maybe more than Texas. I can\u2019t wait to ride my bike. Also, there is a long right corner in banking that looks fantastic,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Brad Binder the current record holder for highest speed in MotoGP is cautiously eyeing the longest straight on his Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. \u201cI don\u2019t really know where the speed trap is, but also it\u2019s quite downhill, which is cool. But then there\u2019s a big kick on the end, so where it goes uphill there might kill the chances a little bit. But anyway, I think it’s a really long straight. More important than the top speed is stopping for the next corner, that\u2019s where my focus lies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
