testing

Many questions to be answered, but this is one that makes absolutely no sense   The Sepang test is also the first chance to get a proper look at the Open class. Two bikes appeal most to the imagination. The Yamaha FTR to be raced by Colin Edwards and Aleix Espargaro in the NGM Forward team...

Go Nicky and Scotty!

With Valentino Rossi back on a competitive mount, the rules that were created to make him and Ducati more competitive can be rescinded.   The current spin is that the Yamaha and Honda factory teams gained a significant advantage on their competition by participating in a private test...

Testing is scheduled for 3 days, 3-23 ~ 3-25   Day 1  (3-23) Wet track   1. Jorge Lorenzo ESP Yamaha Factory (YZR-M1) 1m 47.423s (Lap 24/39) 2. Dani Pedrosa ESP Repsol Honda (RC213V) 1m 48.474s (23/30) 3. Marc Marquez ESP Repsol Honda (RC213V) 1m 48.524s (29/38) 4. Andrea Iannone...

BSB boys are on the track tomorrow at Donington, Got a spare day so going to have a wander down. Free entry for all. Will post some pics when I get back ;) Any one else going give me a shout , but will be on the road early.

Appears the WSBK boys are taking time to get used to the new surface at PI, lots of accidents already!!!   Baz Highsided:   http://www.crash.net/world+superbikes/news/188062/1/baz_plays_it_safe_after_high-speed_fall.html   Badovini trached his 1199, at least if you crash a Ducati you...

This mandatory break in testing must be unhelpful for those changing teams. Particularly Dovi on the Ducati. He got in, how many laps was it, 3?, and now he has to wait until February. Rossi moving to Yamaha shouldn't have so much of a problem as he has extensive experience on the Yamaha. And...

Maybe you guys can help ... I know that the amount of testing that the teams are allowed to do is a lot less than in the past but is it having a detrimental affect on the series? This is prompted by something said on Eurosport yesterday about the lack of wild cards and having thought on it by...

Since the testing ban has been lifted, how come we haven't heard of any factory teams doing private tests? I mean, they lost a day because of Estoril being washed out the monday after the races. Shouldn't they (specifically the Ducs) do some tests since they had new bits/pieces to try out...?

Testing restrictions lifted, but still restricted by tire allotment. http://motomatters.com/news/2011/10/28/motogp_testing_limits_to_be_abolished_fo.html

First times from the 1000cc Brno test are up 1. Casey Stoner AUS Repsol Honda (1000cc) 1m 56.678s (5 laps) 2. Jorge Lorenzo ESP Yamaha Factory Racing 1m 57.081s (16) 3. Ben Spies USA Yamaha Factory Racing 1m 57.494s (10) 4. Valentino Rossi ITA Ducati Marlboro 1m 58.266s (10)...

Seems Stoners predictions of getting a low 1:47 lap around Mugello have come to fruition on the 800cc bikes....he blasted around the track today with a 1:47.3....ridiculous! Simo not far behind either with a 1:47.4 - fearsome lap times

I know this is the second time I brought this up but I'm so ready to see some more power and have my favorite rider (Nicky) on a better bike. Ducati was out testing with Nicky and Rossi again and the GP12 is getting better, they have improved lap times and it seems the 1000's are going to be...

Here we go, hopefully we can get some good information, coverage, and times for this test. We'll probably hear a lot from Ducati with all the problems they are trying to solve and how public it has become from the factory and the riders that the bike is not up to par. Ducati should have a new...

what's going on? i thought regular riders were not allowed to test during the season.

Hi everyone new to the site and looking forward to the new season. Do you know if there is a #IRC channel for powerslide? I am looking forward to the first couple of races to see how the riders develop and which way the things are going to develop, I think for this year the start will be good...

A few of my best shots - my first try - they move fast!! :-) 11450:DSC_3907c.JPG] 11451:DSC_3932c.JPG] 11449:DSC_3949c.JPG] 11448:DSC_4062c.JPG]
