How much practice?

Seems guys are always doing midweek motos at the test tracks etc. to stay sharp. This is purely guessing but I would guess they ride 2-3 times during the week, maybe more if they’re testing new stuff

Oops. I meant for that weekend's race, how much practice do they get on that track? Thanks

If they ride press day, they get some time on a part of the track. On Saturday they get one untimed practice and two times qualis. So something like 30 minutes on the track before the racing

Here’s your answer

Realistically they do a total of about 20 laps of practice excluding those who ride press day

Well I guess that's why they're the pros, they can get their timing down with such little preparation

Compare that to a local race where you get like a 3 lap practice. Unless you sneak out in multiple practices.
