I guess the world really *is* upside down.

8:15pm.. stoner, spies.

Pedrosa just went fastest, 1'56.112.

Looking like the same issue in Qatar.  The Hondas are turning up the wick, now firmly in the 1:55's and the Duc's making backward progress.... and everyone else playing catch up as well.

Val picked up a spot. What's up with the turd? Is he testing some weird settings?

So is Elias.

the only 2 satellite hondas out there, also.  so Aoyama's time is still pretty impressive.

I hope they're not testing race time setups, cause the Ducs are indeed going backwards.

So by far Casey and Whoreghey have posted the best lap times. The flying laps are more for preparing for qualifying.
