Title: 2014 Post-season test Valencia
Post by: Speeddog on November 11, 2014, 12:11:10 PM
Scott Redding was reportedly *elated* to have legitimately powered past someone on a straightaway.
Twas only Bautista on the Ape, but still....

Hopefully it will be dry for this 3rd day....

Was hoping to watch the progress of the new riders/bikes across the 3 x days.

Interested to see Suzuki and Marc VDS team.  The more the merrier. Tough kids coming up to GP

It seems everyone is "satisfied" with the results of the tests.

I hope they made an in-line 4 this time. The GSXR race bikes were quicker than the old V4 GP bikes :P. Stick to what you're good at I reckon.

It is an inline 4....
Part of the reason I guess at this stage they are down 20kmh at the top end.
They have some work to do....
