Arn't Crutchlow and even young Bradl doing well good to see them up there!

According to a tweet from @motomatters:

According to @M_Turco Nobu Aoki, Suzuki's test rider, told press at Sepang that Suzuki is working for a MotoGP return in 2014.

Takes the first day off, does the 4th fastest lap only his second lap...spell freak.

**RobGassit** · 2nd February 2012, 09:11

It would'nt matter if they were ALL on Hondas,, Stoner is in the zone.

**Crasherfromwayback** · 2nd February 2012, 09:27

I wonder if he can break the curse of running the #1 plate?

Shhh!

From the Twittersphere on the morning of Day 3 of the Sepang Test: @AziFarni (MotoGP reporter)

“Stoner just dropped under 2´00 with a 1´59.607, 1.2s ahead of Spies. ...”

Reckon a few lap records are gonna get smashed this year.

@AziFarni adds a little more on that 1´59.607

“By the way, Casey´s 1´59 (+0.6 on the rest) was on his second lap this morning. ...”

Hmmmm, the main manufacturers look to be doing business as usual, with not a lot changed in the pecking order since last year.

I'm actually most interested in hearing what Colin Edwards has to say. I wonder where he's losing the most time and why?
