    Rossi on Yam!

    Yeah Rossi will take a few wins, Lorenzo Pedrosa and Dovi will get theirs too. I hope Crutchlow breaks his duck early next year!
    Lorenzo proved consistency is key this year, Pedro had seven wins to Lorenzos 6 didn't he?
    We could see 5 riders with 3 wins each and then you throw Marquez into the mix and anything could happen.
    Simoncelli was a very talented and aggressive rider, like Marquez, I hope he doesn't cause unnecessary accidents such as his collision on a warm-down
    lap with Williarot last year.

    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    I would love to see Pedrosa win the title next year!

    Wonder what sort of times Aragon will serve up. Some of the WSBK riders testing there as well today — that could be a fun comparison!

    The winner will come from the top 3- Dani, Jorge, Vale have a shot, being consistently on the podium and no Dnf's/Dns. It all comes down to scoring as many points as you can in every single race.

    MotoGP rookie Bradley Smith also didn't make it on track because of the rain. But retired World Champion Loris Capirossi tested Smith's Yamaha M1 on a dry track, turning a top time of 1:35.954 - the second-best lap of the day. It was Capirex's first ride on Crossed Tuning Forks equipment since straddling a two-stroke 500cc Yamaha in 1996.

    Loved this. Would be great to see him on good gear again.

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    So, who else saw Marquez quickly come up to speed on the RC213V? If you didn't know what the fuss was about before, he certainly demonstrated why he's so hyped by everybody — only 27 laps on his first ever ride on the thing and he was just over a second off Pedrosa's time.

    Yeah saw that. Very impressive alright. May've found ourselves another alien already.

    That doesn't really mean a lot to me, I mean, those same figures show Pirro being 2 hundredths of a second off Marquez's time with this being his first time on the Ducati.

    Not doubting Marquez's ability (not at all, I think he will be amazing for the sport and do something like what Lorenzo did in his first season) but I just don't think these test times reliably demonstrate anything important. Another example is Crutchlow's time compared to Pedrosa's, I mean Crutchlow certainly isn't bad but Pedrosa is a whole lot more than a .2 second difference from him on the real racetrack.

    Fair call — I hadn't really thought about it like that. Obviously, I got caught up in the hype myself.
