King James apparently tried to highside himself to the moon on day one. Hope Colin kicks his a$$ all season after the underhanded move JT made to get Edwards crew chief at the end of 08'...

Go Nicky ... trust that traction control and open the **** throttle!

Howsabout Sete ... right back in there after injury and a long lay off!

Motorcycle stig?

It sounds like Stoner is having a tough time with that wrist injury as well. He could only stay out for 2-3 lap stints. I think Nicky will be giving him a honest run with his first season on the Duc. He sure works hard at it, he always puts in a ton of laps at these tests.

Nicky might not be getting podiums in the first few races but with more & more track time he will get there. He is adapting to a totally different atmosphere than he had at HRC (which should be a good thing in time).

And Day 3:
Top 8 riders within 1 sec of each other, should lead to some good racing.

Where's the bot?

 

[MotoFusion]

Looks like something is finally working for Capirossi and Suzuki.

Looks like something is finally working for Capirossi and Suzuki.

they're looking silky smooth, but i think nicky will get it together... first tests on the new bike... he improved his time around 1 second each day, and day 3 he's only 1 second behind the leader Stoner.
