Some interesting differences between the times of some members of the same team?

What the hell was Marco Malandri doing... Even Fatjim on a GN250 has gone faster round sepang than that...

Good to see a Kawasaki up there for a change.
Rossi a second of the pace he won't be to happy or is he playing?
Thanks for posting that!

Looking at that, seems the Michelin qualifier still has the advantage!

Even though it's only the 1st test session (nobody wants to give too much away) it's good to see 3 of the newbies (Jorge Lorenzo, Andrea Dovizioso and James Toseland) in the top half of the field.

Indeed, I don't think too much should be read into these test times as yet, Rossi will always be there.....or there abouts if he has equipment that's half pie competitive.

Damn! eww I can't wait for this season to get underway!

What's odd is Pedrosa's crash - the pictures show him up and walking away from the bike, which is still on the pavement and looks OK. The pictures of the bike on fire show it in the gravel trap. I can't figure it out, did the 'marshalls' drag it off the track and then it burst into flames?

And now Dani is saying he's worried at missing the next test 'cos Nicky (basically) 'doesn't know how to set up the bike'! Wanker. I hope his hand hurts, selfish little prick.
