2013 MotoGP: Yamaha Unveils the YZR-M1 at Jerez, March 22

Yamaha announced they will officially unveil the 2013 MotoGP ZR-M1 bikes on March 22nd at the Jerez circuit.
Jerez is the last official test round before the 2013 MotoGP season kicks off, and Yamaha are the last major factory team to make the official "introductions". They have released a teaser and some really cheesy photos of their new machine earlier, but everything was taken more like some sort of a joke, with Lorenzo and Rossi almost cuddling the bikes.

Now, we're expecting the warlike presentation, especially as Yamaha declared they were almost ready to take on the super-fast Hondas, after the last private test at COTA, Austin, Texas. With Ducati far behind and most likely impossible to make credible threats against the leading teams, it looks like the 2013 MotoGP will be a fierce battle between Honda and Yamaha.
