I thought I read someplace that MM, JL & Rossi took the 2016 bikes out for like the last 15 minutes or so. I might have misunderstood what I read.

"If" they took the opportunity to ride the 2016 for the fist time, thought they might run the old tires first. No reason to go crazy on first ride.

What do u mean, run the old tires?

As I understand, the last time Bridgestones were to be used was at the race in Valencia.

They have tested the Michelin already this season, but specific lap times and commentary was forbidden.

Valentino blames Marques for burning too much rubber on track making his front tire not have enough grip.

:O oops

Jum, you are probably correct. I have no facts or reports to backup my claims.

I was nearly speculating from the picture of what I thought was the 2016 on 'stone tires.

Total guess/speculation.. Just seemed to me, as you posted I think about Bradley, that they might slow roll the new bike.. But again, just me speculating... Aka, pulling shiit out me arse....

In the morning, they put a set of wheels to take the bike outside to do morning warm-up and running gear test.
Marquez 's mechanics put the Bridgestone on.
Then HRC said they didn't have enough wheels for everybody,
Geez....if you're going to shortchange a team, don't do it to the one that has the most TV coverage.
To be clear, no Bridgestones were on the track today and the Bridgestones Era is done with. .

Thanks, Shovel.
Looking again at J4s grainy pics, tyre does look virgin.

When do we get to see more of your photos?
