Valencia MotoGP test times – Wednesday.

Colin didn't test today.
Bike is more for Dani size but big guys can still ride the bike, its all lever and footpeg adjustments and stuff.

Valencia is a small twisty circuit better suited for 800cc bikes, since they are smaller and more compact.
Where we will see the difference is on horsepower tracks like Mugello, Philip Island and that boogelybaggity.

don't put to much stock in these times. they'er just out there tryin to put many laps in & familarise themselves with their new machines. making preliminary changes & get comfortable on them.

Hello, hello
I don't know if it's just me but I really don't like the looks of the honda, the arse end is too short for my tastes, it looks as if they stopped it growing too early. Mind you it matches Dani Pedrosa in that respect.
That Guy

Stick around That Guy, I reckon you'll do brilliantly here

These times will be slow compared to next year.

The results from this first test were positive, with the bike completing more than 350km first time out.

BEEN THERE! BEEN THERE!
