Rossi won't be in top 5 yet - 3 Hondas and 2 Yamahas will be there. I think Rossi will have the gap down to approx 0.5 seconds after this test and by the end of the test he will be in front of Hayden - I think shoulder will have improved a lot between the last test and this one.
A Honda will post the quickest time again.

I expect Rossi to give the top 5 a big nudge, more so on race pace average rather than quickest time. I think Spies and Sic will surprise again and the other Aliens to be within 0.5 of a second of each other.....

Ducatis ineptitude and complete befuddlement on how to build a motogp bike that can crack the 2011 podium will continue.
Honda will continue to perfect the bike that is at least 3 years ahead of the Ducati in development.

Big call, time will tell whether or not you are right. They have the basic requirement - i.e. a bike with a lot of stick, they just need to make it handle. I'd be surprised if they can't do this.

Southern Aridzona - Hell's doorstep.
Aw hell. Nicky is 0.939 seconds slower than a still-half-broken Rossi.
Trying to hang on as a Haystack fan has become an exercise in gleeful masochism.
Someone just ....... shoot me, PLEASE!!
