motogp test sepang.

Yeah... guys.. I rushed home from a fancy dinner to see the testing and....

yeah... thats right.... NOTHING> Motogp.com ... Sucks..

sup guys..yeah i've been waiting too. the website gpone has the times. seems like old Rosco Jenkins and stonebot are at it again. Edwards is getting back Toseland for stealing his man and Dovi is showing Pedrosa the ropes. i really think edwards is gonna have his best season so far. if that front bridgestone tire is any good, Edwards is gonna be fast.

Good!I thought Stoner would be far off,at least in the beginning.We'll see what happens when everyone is more dialed in though.From www.gpone.com:

Test Sepang: Rossi-Stoner is already duel
Si è ripreso subito dopo la scivolata, Valentino, e all'11° giro ha realizzato il miglior tempo dando la sveglia a Stoner che ha replicato, fermandosi però a pochi decimi. It was taken just after the slip, Valentino, and on lap 11 he made the best time giving the alarm that a Stoner replied, stopping but a few tenths.


Piccole variazioni per gli altri piloti in pista. Small changes for the other drivers on the track. Da segnalare il bel passo di Capirossi e Dovizioso per la prima volta davanti al caposquadra Pedrosa (superato anche da Elias!). To mention the good step of Capirossi and Dovizioso for the first time in front of the team leader Pedrosa (passed by Elias).

Why...?

It is his 3rd outting on Duc, the bike is difficult to ride, and he is new to Bridgestones. He is riding at his current best ability level.

And there are NO Q tyres....so he has to do with what he's got....so now it is down to his ability for speed with the same tyres as everyone else.

Don't worry I am sure Ducati are not yet asking themselves if Hopper may be available just in case.

Was worried the Suzuki's would become the new Kawasaki in 2009, but 4th for Capri and 7th Verm is not to bad for first run. Both ahead of Pedro
Really hope for the sake of MotoGP that Suzuki have a reasonable year.
Good to see Dovizioso ahead of Pedrosa.

kallio is failing atm looking at his place...

No pics yet but here's a look at the Ducati garage from a crap camera.

Why aren't ANY English language sites covering this? I mean, MotoGP bikes are back out on the track!!! Hello!!! Let's get to work guys!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Slide @ Feb 5 2009, 09:56 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>kallio is failing atm looking at his place...
I'm hoping he will come along.It is the duc.satellite team after all.
Good to see Capirossi up there.I wonder what times to expect by the end of the day,or day 3 for that matter,how the surface/tires are compared to last years race.

former bridgestone runners got worse tires this year...
former michelin runners got better tires this year...

lets see which former bridgestone runner will suck this year...
