Some of the MotoGP riders based in Andorra - inclu📖ding Fabio Quartararo, Alex Rins, Aleix and Pol Espargaró, Maverick Viñales and Tito Rabat - have completed their first track laps on a motorcycle since the coronavirus lockdown.

While many MotoGP riders have been following Jack Miller's social me💖dia with envy during the European lockdown - the Australian able to ride motocross 🐓uninhibited at home - Italian racers have also recently been allowed to resume training on two-wheels.

Meanwhile Andorra, where a total of 22 🐲grand prix riders have residency, initially allowed only Trial⛎s.

"Andorra has said that professional riders can go ju💞st a couple of hours to practice some Trials in one place," Suzuki's Joan Mir said last week. "This is good news but not enough because there are a lot of riders, like the Italian guys - they can go out now, the ones that are living in Tavullia to the ranch and these things."

However, as part of Phase 2 of the principality's deconfinement plan,🐻 the Government of Andorra gave permiss✨ion for professional riders to begin training at the Circuit Andorra Pas de la Casa (altitude of 2,400 metres!) from Wednesday.

Those present had t♕o follow an anti-contamination protocol, with training sessions divided into two groups and different time slots to avoid having more than ten riders together.

During t💎he morning there was practically no action due to wet conditions, but once the track dried out those present were able to complete their first two-wh🎃eel laps since early March.

Training will continue as riders prepare for the 🅠new proposed MotoGP season-opener at Jerez, on July 19.
