I never know how much you can take from these times when they are all tinkering with settings, Is there any point in hiding what you got in these test?? real question, just wondering if they play games knowing they have more but not wanting to show it, or do they just go for it?

You can't tell what needs improving unless you find the limits.....but we all remember how well Suzuki used to do in testing then fold like a cheap suit come race time, so take it all with a pinch of salt I reckon..

OMG! Someone else other than Stoner can slide a Moto GP bike, I never knew anyone else in the paddock had the skills to do that.....

Makes no real difference I guess.

Not bad coming back from a shagged back.

Stoner reckoned it didn't affect his riding
Interesting how close the Ducati is given the fact its just over a month old compared to all the others that have been kicking around for 6 months+
I can imagine it may well be another Stoner year, but I reckon Rossi won't be far off and there could be some epic battles for the remaining podium places!
I just hope it doesn't get all Schumachery with Stoner miles out in front making it look boring!

lmao!

Ducati are happy campers.

“Sitting at breakfast & just thinking how well the test went. It's so early in this bike's development but it's clear that this is our bike!”

next test will be very interesting, 25 days to go....

While the Ducati boys seem reasonably happy with the new bike, they haven't really closed the gap that much as yet. Early days I know...

I wanna see Rossi, Stoner, Lorenzo, Spies and Pedrosa going sick together!!!

Considering they were usually 1.5-2 secs of the pace, id say they've done a fair bit.
Take Stoner out of the equation and they look considerably better!
At least Rossi is within the same second as the men in front! This hasn't happened for a year!!!
