I cant wait for Stoner to win the first at quatar despite having to battle corageously through crippling eyelash pain and an honorless sabotage conspiracy from every parts maker.

it's almost too bad that qatar is the first race since casey nearly automatically will win that one.  dude owns that track.

Is Ducati testing with Vespas?  Someone should have told them to bring the GP11 to the test.

interesting that the injured guy is the first duc aint it

Thought I read a quote from Rossi somewhere saying that he didn't try for a fast lap with a soft tire.  If so, maybe he's not so far off from the top-five.

Edit: Ok, I actually put a tiny amount of effort in to find the quote:

QuoteWe can be satisfied with today as a first day, because we're a second from the top, like we were at the end of the first test but without trying a late 'time attack' with the soft tyre like the others did.

Finding 1 second in MotoGP is a lot harder than just switching to a soft tire. The Ducs are still way off the pace.

He's kinda close, but I'm not sure what good that "soft tire" excuse does for him.  Spies and Stoner (dunno about the others) said they ran their fast times on hard tires during race simulations.  Well, to be fair, Stoner's fastest was on soft at the end of the day, but earlier he ran a time on a hard that would have been #1 as well.

All the Ducs--'cept rossi--were beaten by the Rizla pedal bike.   

we can debate all day long how true or not the shoulder business is... but he says it's only at 50% strength.  that's a major delta.

Valentino Rossi is the current official lap record holder, with a time of 2'00.518 set during 2009.

Valentino Rossi did not ride. The Marlboro Ducati rider was struck down with flu, and returned very early to the hotel. Alvaro Bautista and Cal Crutchlow are also still suffering.

T2 is the second official Yamaha test bike. Jorge Lorenzo took it out for a spin and set the 9th fastest time on it.

Its looking more and more like Honda will finally nab an 800 crown.
