Who cares about Nicky "The Kentucky Squid" Hayden. You guys are all talking to him like he should be further up the order but deep down inside you all know he's just an average rider..... yeah, people tend to root for under achievers cuz it makes them feel good about themselves.
And oh yeah...... Hero Aoyama is the real deal folks so quit playing like he's Japanese soo he's not aggressive but a 'smoothe' rider crap, cuz truth is the guy goes ballz out everytime aggressive style baby !! So don't hate.
GO JAPAN !!

The whole thing comes down to a push from Rossi and a front end loss. This is really bad news for Valentino as he was running well down the pack at the time. I do recall making a prediction that he would do that once he started pushing.
Unless a real solution (not vicious words in the media) is found he will toss it into the kitty leader to even challenge for a minor placing.
Spies beat Lorenzo again and is looking good.
It was the expected Honda cup.
Watch Stoner on day 2, he was basically fastest all day but was pipped by a late push from Pedro (soft tyres). Stoner is building a race bike not a qualifying one.

As I thought the others have caught up significantly at this stage, less than a second across the top ten with three Yamaha's right up there and the Factory Duck's just over half a second off the pace........so much for Doomsday.
Rossi and Nicky both 1.1 up on the Sepang deficit, I would say you look like a goose......again
In that case Rossi will only be about 20 some odd seconds behind the winner when he crosses the finish line then. NICE !!
Btw.... Hero Aoyama is not riding on a full factory supported bike, though he did get upgrades. His first time on the upgraded bike and he's already in 3rd position, just a blink of on an eye behind Stoner who's on a full factory machine. Ohhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhh.
Yep, and last time he complained about being 20-30 seconds behind the leader it was a Michelin issue.
So I expect lots more foot stomping since he is only .1 up on Haystack.
He won't be stomping his foot, I heard someone in here earlier mentioning how Rossi complained about one of his foot hurting after playing football...... bhahahaha. Rossi is quite a character.
OK!
Next thing you know he will be saying his eyelashes hurt and are costing him .5 second!

Dani 0.9 seconds and valentino 1.7 seconds off stoner's best test time last year, so it will be interesting to see the parity on day 2 if the times get significantly faster, although conditions as always may be different this year. I have little doubt that rossi can ride the bike like stoner if he has to and get close to his times, even if he has to change his riding style. The question is whether he can resolve the front-end instability problem, or how quickly he can anyway, and this only seems to be an issue when running closer to the limit.
I expect the factory yamahas to keep looking good.
Is this test really useful for anything except setting up the bikes for a night race in qatar for which practice starts in a few days anyway?
"I entered too quickly and lost the front", which could be interpreted either way I guess, although it does not sound like the front end loses stoner was having, which he implied were more or less random although perhaps related to being unable to generate heat in the tyres.
I don't know whther I am classified as a hater, but if rossi does start having front end loses similar to those stoner had the implication to me would be that it is down to the ducati.
Always have been........
It's getting funnier though
It's not too funny yet, Pedrosa was quickest today and I don't like (this equals hate of course) him either!
