MotoGP testing is underway at the Brno circuit in sunny conditions, with WSBK Alstare Suzuki rider Sylvain Guintoli filling in for the badly bruised Alvaro Bautista on the Rizla Suzuki GSV-R.

Bautista suffered a bad crash during Saturday’s free practice but fortunately any serious injuries to his back were ruled out and he managed to race yesterday, but he crashed out again on the last corner of the last lap after overtaking Marco Simoncelli for 11th place.

Guintoli is a former MotoGP rider with two years of experience on the 800cc (Yamaha and Ducati) and is helping Suzuki and Loris Capirossi (who seems to be heading to Pramac Ducati next season) test a new chassis, engine, electronics and aerodynamics package.
