The current two-weekend break between the Brno🦩 and Misano MotoGP rounds is the same l🅰ength of time as for the official summer break.

The differenc♏e during the 'aℱutumn break' is that testing is ongoing, with Honda, Yamaha and some CRTs attending an official post-race session on the Monday after Brno, while Ducati held a private two-day test at Misano.

The testing split will continue this week, with Honda and Yamaha attending a private two-day session 𝄹at Aragon on Tuesday and Wednesday, with Ducati opting for unofficial laps at Mugello.

Aragon will mark the second MotoGP test of the year at the Spanish circuit, following a single-day in early June, which was a replacement for the cancell🍃ed Estoril test. Repsol Honda did not attend that test.

The circuit will also host round 14 of the championship at the end of September 🃏and the main focus at this week's outing will be on title contenders Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa, plus Repsol Honda stand-in Jonathan Rea.

Lorenzo tried an early 20😼13 Yamaha prototype at the Brno test, but didn't feel any benefit over his present machine. Further upgrades are expected for Aragon.

Pedrosa, who switched to a 2013 Honda prototype in late July, is likely to seek a continu🍌ed cur💧e for the long-running chatter problems, while temporary team-mate Rea will be making his second appearance for the Repsol team.

The 25-year-old Ten Kate Honda WSBK star has ꧋been called up to replace the injurℱed Casey Stoner at the next two races, Misano and Aragon, barring an early return for the Australian.

Rea, whose only previous MotoGP experience was a private test on an 800cc Honda in 2010, completed 61 laps at Brno with a best time 3.145s behind fastest man Cal Crutcꦐhlow (Tech 3 Yamaha).

The Aragon test will be Reaও's last opportunity to famailirise himself with the RC213V and Bridgestone tyres prior to his expected grand prix debut at Misano from September 14-16.

Rea has raced at Brno, Aragon and Misano in WSBK.

While Honda and Yamaha are in Aragon, GPOne.com reports that Ducati - which will hand Valentino Rossi and the returning Nicky Hayden a new frame and swing-arm to t🍃ry at the San Marino GP - will test✤ at Mugello.

Mo🌳to2 star Andrea Iannone and CRT MotoGP rider Danilo Petrucci are expected to be at the c♔ontrols of the GP12s.

Iannone, linked to a 2013 satellite Ducati seat, will be making his second Ducati test appearance of the year, while Petrucci faces a busy few days with rumours that his Ioda team could switch to the Suter BMW of Colin Edwar🦄ds for Misano.

Edwards tested an Aprilia ꧒at Brno, with his Forward Racing squad likely to make its debut with the privatee𒉰r-leading ART bike at Misano.

UไPDATE: It is now reported that Gresini CRT rider Michele Pirro, not Petruc🥃ci, will join Iannone at the Mugello test.
