Honda needs to get their .... together regarding the issues resulting in the last minute weight change rules.

Can't believe that Stoner isn't down into the 38s with Lorenzo. Honda must be freaking out.



Happy to see Bautista on the Honda. Hopefully he will get upgrades during the season. Baring injuries

I think he'll really shine this year.



Nicky really needs to go to WSBK before his hair turns gray.
 
slowly, it's getting interesting.. Crutchlow P4, Barbera P8, kicking Spies' and Rossi's ....., respectively. Stoner not adding to his 40 laps for half an eternity while Lorenzo is at 59.. doing a race sim it seems. And Dovi is a second off his teammate's time..



edit: any infos on fallers today?

Top 7 is Yamaha, Honda, Honda, Yamaha, Yamaha, Honda, Yamaha. Ducati 8,9 and 10. No holidays in Bologna by looks of it

Stoner wringin the Honda's neck like a madman. Tuckin the front, wrestling the thing into submission. A genius to behold

Lorenzo doin race simulation. So smooth. Hits same grain of tarmac lap after lap after lap after lap. Quite unique & jaw-dropping to watch
 
Bradl up to 7th spot, ahead of Dovi. So it's yam, honda, honda, yam, yam, honda, honda, yam, duc, duc, duc, duc, CRTs. Looks like factory yam vs. honda, then sat yam vs. honda, then ducs vs. CRTs. Not sure how excited I am about this.
 
Thanks for clearing that for me

Here come the quick laps. Weather and track as good as its gonna get! Stoner has just posted a 1'38.989 lap to take 2nd, just 0.036s off Lorenzo! Winter testing is almost over,
 
Stoner averaging 1'39.697 over a 10 lap run. About 4-3 tenths faster than Lorenzo and Pedrosa, but I assume they did longer runs. Want to see the analysis, and want to see it NOW.



edit: says MotoGP
 
So, this is it. Not surprised (but admittedly delighted) at Stoner leading the timetables. I am impressed, seriously, by RdP, but also a bit by Rossi and Ducati Factory. I thought they would be about 1.5s behind. A full second is still (too) much, but at least it's going to be around P5-7 instead of P8-10. This sucks big time, of course, because it is exactly where they spent the most of last season. But at least, erm, it's not worse than that.



As for the CRTs: Besides RdP, Petrucci and Ioda deserve some respect. Beating Edwards is a small landmark, I think. As for their overall performance: I think the treshold for being regarded as serious contenders should be at least halfway the distance between best Moto2 and best MotoGP time. The ART package provides the means to perform in this region, as was clearly demonstrated by RdP. As for Ioda, NGM and Avintia, there is little way to know how much potential there still might be.



But anyway, let's bring up Qatar!
