Pardon that smiley, it's not supposed to be there.

I haven't seen any comment from yesterday but so far the Sepang test has been something of a washout. There has been quite a bit of rain and the new track surface takes forever to dry out. Odd considering the Malayan temperatures?

There was some discussion though as Stoner has been riding, or trying to, during the private testing and people are wondering if he will continue now that Dovi and JL have arrived. There is again the potential for embarrassment. I'd have thought that if he was faster than the team riders though, that should put a rocket up their arse.

This one cfwb?

This one cfwb?

Yep. He was always a good fit with the Ducati. And the Honda...

[EJK]

Wow. So he goes on holidays, fishing etc then jumps on a Ducati and still got the edge. What the heck? Lorenzo's not even made the list.

Stoner done good, so too did Folger. The rest of the order though is seriously strange, then again it is testing not racing.

Stoner done good,

We can only hope Ducati let him do PI this year.

We can only hope he does Ducati (and the rest of us too) a favor and rides PI this year and fucking smashes the lot of 'em

Fixed for accuracy.

Rossi had one final word for Ducati test rider Stoner, who completed a phenomenal feat in topping the time sheets on day one. “He's very fast, yes,” noted Rossi. “It's very good that he don't race!”

Finished P17. Big changes required to ride the Ducati he noted, especially in braking. He'll get there, no doubt about that.

Unlucky for everybody else that it rained 2 hours before the end of the day. None of the usual mad dash for a laptime in the last 15-20 minutes. It's pretty embarassing having a test rider ahead of every factory rider.

[sugilite:Me]

JL seemingly not interested in hearing how large Stoners nut sack is, and Gigi looking stoked over Ducatis new signing!

Sounds like it needs the front loaded a bit more for turn in where on the Yam he could let go of the stoppers and drop the bike.

Not a massive change be interesting to see how much faster he goes today

The track was damp at the start of play so most are sitting it waiting for a dry track. Lorenzo though is circulating alone. David Emmett thinks he's enthusiastic. Desperate might be a better word? So much to do, so little time.

I'd be out getting to know the bike in the wet n playing with set ups. Track time is track time
