I took the checkered flag on this news by one second. A single second.

happens that way sometimes...and from 2 different sources even!
Sometimes I think the "Racing" part of the "Racing & Trackdays" forum is a contest to see how fast somebody can post a link to an article on superbikeplanet.com. ;D

I appreciate it too.
Hopefully nobody thought I was complaining--just some observational humor. I think the "dueling links" format of the discussions here is funny too, but not in a bad way.
In fact, if I read an article at supebikeplanet that I'm interested in, I stop here next, since I can count on a discussion.

"This is literally the first time I've ridden a motorcycle since we unveiled the 1198 after the end of last season at Portimao"
...and you did so by climbing on a Ducati GP bike. keeerist.

he's not skeert.
Should we be reading something into the fact that there hasn't been a lot in the press about Bayliss' test after the first day? Wasn't this his last day of testing?
Dear Ducati:
Thanks for the test ride. I now know what your problem is. Melandri and Hayden aren't Austrailian.
Sincerely,
Troy Bayliss

....."It didn't take long to get back into it but, before anyone gets any ideas, I will also say that I'm happy to be heading back to the airport and towards Australia and home this evening: I have no intention of returning to racing! Having said that, I have had fun and I hope at the same time that I've been of use ....
About a second off of Stoner's pace...similar to every other rider not named Stoner. Hopefully he can tell them why.
Seems to be a bit of information in this statement:
"Working with Troy has been useful because he has a very different riding style to Vittoriano" commented Filippo Preziosi, "and so it's been interesting and beneficial to hear his impressions of the GP9 also. We worked on chassis set-ups that are pretty different from those which we usually use and the results were promising although we need to look at this further."
