Were Jorge and the top Honda guys there? That would be a better indicator, but encouraging nonetheless

Rossi's probably a bit miffed and Horhay as well, but how do you think Dani's feeling??!! How many seasons has he had the Honda?:confused:

Its just the way it rolls. You think you are fast then some young kid comes along and kicks your ass. I am sure this season will go down as one of the best for one reason or another. Can't wait for race one.

hmmm. interesting. MM should take some care, great hes doing well, but we remember how it ended for the last young gun who was keen to show what he had early in his motogp career . . .

[Maido]

It is testing not a race. Probably best to hold conclusions :P

Never dobted he would come back and make lorenzo look like a chump:Punk:

Agreed. Many factors within a race can effect the outcome. Tyre management for one. Though if MM is putting in quick times now...... Its just a matter of time...

Anyone remember Lorenzo on pole in his 1st Moto GP race.... His first season didn't quite work out....

Love the goss though. Gets me super amped for the season... Just hope I don't have to hear Brad ranting that a Honda is back on top all year!:laugh:

Still some work for Rossi to do. Although from memory he's never been the fastest in practice etc, its his race pace that is key.

Good to see Pedrosa at the pointy end still.
