Phillip Island MotoGP Testing

Don't know if it's still raining but definitely a damp track. Only 4 riders been out and the quickest time a 1.41.171.
Don't think very many folk fancy a go of the michelin wets.
 
the lap times might not be that relevant in these kinda conditions but this kinda shows the difference between riders, who is working and which one are just hanging out. i like the fact that lorenzo is testing the wet so much, i think yesterday he tested only on wet tires too. and pramac riders are working hard too.
 
Crash.net reports front straight is more or less dry. Show get racy, racy in a few.. As long as the rain will go away and come back another day, not tomorrow.
 
Marky Mark wasted no time.

Well, if Rossi gets his way Lorenzo might as well pack his bags. This test won't mean ..... Maybe JLo can mosey over to the Ducati garage and start getting his feet wet. (No pun)

Seems as tho the teams have come to grips with the Michelins.

Hector impresses yet again.

Like to see Hector doing the Baz poses above as a contrast!

So Casey, do you remember when we had those awesome Bridgestones back in 2007, then that cockgobbler Rossi threatened to quit MotoGP if he didn't get them too? Our 2008 seasons were ruined.
 
Anyone know the weather???

Beautiful !!

Going to be a fast day..
