Yeah ... very impressive ... not! Nearly 3 seconds slower than his teammate and almost 4 seconds behind Bayliss!

He won't challenge Checa or Sofoglu!

Great to see Checa up there.

Get real.

It's his first ever time on the bike and the track, unlike Checa who's been there for years.

Give him a ....... chance, it's his first test.

I like it when they're just the Carbon Fibre colour in testing but they don't stay that way.

How's Rea getting on in Supersport?

Sounds great - like a low flying Spitfire. Reminds me of the old transatlantic races at Donny in the late 80's/early 90's and the sound of the Dukes compared to the Jap stuff.
