We will see the test drivers of the six manufacturers involved plus rookies Luca Marini, Enea Bastianini, and Jorge Martin. And the Aprilia team, the only one that will continue to benefit from the concessions also in 2021. Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 March all on track for the first real IRTA test of the year.
