125's running!....can someone post how Bonsey is doing?...i'm at work and the system here won't allow me to bring it up.
 
Your man is currently 19th out of 21 guys posting times. Its raing today so some people havnt bothered and some taking it easy. Bonsey sits 7.254 seconds slower than Gadea.

Bradley smith is secons at 1.009 seconds, he is going strong
 
I know it's only testing, but I hope this kid has a bright future.

I would post in his thread, but it's been hijacked and turned into an arguement.

OK, 250cc times are in from Qatar day 1.

1. Bautista 2:00.62
2. De angelis 2:01.289
3. Lorenzon 2:01.529
4. Dovi 2:01.616
5. Locatelli 2:02.051
6. Barbera 2:02.290
7. Lai 2:02.360
8. Kallio 2:02.547
9. Luthi 2:02.935
10. H. Aoyama 1:02.964

Congrats to Bautista, excellent ride to be faster than his team mate and a second quicker than the champion (who was testing 06 and 07 bikes). The hondas seem to have done pretty badly, except Dovi who is probably better than i give him credit for.
 
i'm wonderin if honda are gonna put much effort in the smaller classes this season. with all the work needed on the 800s. it'll suck for riders like dovi & b smith in 125s.
 
It sucked for them pretty bad last year. The 06 125cc honda was terible and the 250 obviously wasn't up to aprillia level. I hope they sport it out and start giving these guys the equipment they deserve. Or is that now they have pedrosa they have no use for younger riders or the lower classes.
 
my feeling is that honda are'nt going to really put to much in the smaller classes until they are replaced by 4strokes. if your not on an aprilia or ktm it's time to worry.

i hope i'm wrong.
 
I know they don't care much for the bikes, but they still understand the value of developing riders for the future. I just feel the effort has decreased a lot since the end of 2005 when pedrosa moved up.
 
Final day of testing for the 250cc bikes looks like this.

1. Barbera 2:00.258
2. De angelis 2:00.315
3. Bautista 2:00.322
4. Lorenzo 2:00.985
5. Locatelli 2:01.004
6. Dovi 2:01.068
7. Kallio 2:01.251
8. H.Aoyama 2:01.430
9. Luthi 2:01.776
10. S.Aoyama 2:01.924

Barbera and De angelis have both put in hugely strong pre-seasons and will be Lorenzo's strongest challengers. I hope Honda aren't too rubbish this season, especially as Aoyama's repsol bike is one of the best looking motorcycles i have ever seen. Bautista crashed 3 times today, but hes ok. Roll on the start of the season.
 
looks like it's gonna be an aprilia affair in the smaller classes this season.

not at all... a shame tho for some good riders

Lorenzo got pole just ahead of Barberá, they seem to be the fastest (along with the DeAngelis) and they HATE each other, should be a fun race!

Looks like another one of those 'ordinary, back to business' seasons. However most of the time they offer good, entertaining racing so we can't really complain!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (memento) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Mika Kallio 8th. I think that's pretty good!!
Go Mika!!!

Not bad at all
<
was hoping he'd beat luthi...front row would've been a dream start. He's not far off. Especially considering how quick the front couple are - quicker than the Ilmor boys!
 
Does the word "boner" mean anything else to you than a name for bonsey?
