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

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!

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.
