Pretty much tell you nothing about 2015....other than it will all take time....

Hayden was told to stay at the hotel for the day since there was no time for him to ride the new Honda-RS vs the others riding it....
 
re Aprilia.. will Ioda be getting the new bike as well or will they be stuck for another season with that CRT thing?
 
It looks like they are testing the same ART as this year....lets hope they get some upgrades or a used pneumatic valved ART sometime in 2015....
 
that's ridiculous. who would they be racing against now that PBM and Avintia-Kawa are gone? this is a joke.. they should recieve the new material, Aprilia would profit as well from 50% more dev data and input. (plus the CRT era would've finally been over).
 
Well testing seemed to show;

- the Aprilia is a dog....
- the RS is a re-badged 1000R
- Scott Redding has much to learn
- Cal can fly
- Ducati are way behind still...
- and A. Espagaro can go fast on any bike with soft bridgestones for 1 lap....

lets hope that as things progress faster over winter just to make 2015 more interesting than 2014
 
plus: - Forward wasted a full day of testing on Kayaba suspension, which even ever polite Bradl dubbed as 'crappy'. funny enough, Yamaha (Kayaba shareholder) insisted on conducting the test, with Forward boss Cuzari stating that 'we would be team no. 36 for Öhlins, but team no. 1 for Kayaba. this could be our advantage.' well, he better askes Bautista about his Showa advantage this season.. what a waste of time.
