    Ricky Carmichael is the GOAT.

    Exactly, and I see from early testing Stoner's 2min 2.1 doesn't look too shabby against what these guys have managed so far - only George has gone quicker.

    Maybe the '16 bikes with spec ECU's are slower than than the 15's?

    He was on the GP15 but fitted with the spec ECU and the Michelin tyres so you'd think very comparable to those running today except perhaps Dovi and Joe if they did go out on the 16 at all and Stoner had the dirty track to face more than the guys today. If he does ride tomorrow it could be very interesting. Of course as a Honda man I would have preferred HRC to have let him race last year but if he does well on the Duc I still don't mind as I think he is a great rider.

    Lol, now I see Petrucci on the GP15 has gone to the top of the sheet ahead of George.

    They did, but it ended badly.

    Looks like the honda needs work and the Yamaha and new ducati are working pretty good. Would love to see Stoner kick MM's butt!

    It would help if Honda's "#1 rider" was actually using a new chassis I think:
    http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/226...ove-a-lot.html

    No wonder he is behind Pedrosa...

    Looks like the engine is still too mental, from what Redding has said the Duc is nice n smooth. If the Honda boffins don't smooth out the bike I think we may see another Yam domination this year.

    Only day 1 of testing though, who knows really where each bike is at, Lozenger definitely is putting a good base in to work with though so it will be good to watch the weeks progress. GO HONDA!
