Well crasher your boy was quickest again at the latest Sepang test, no surprise thereand you'd kinda expect that from the Hondas. The surprise was Dovi doing so well on the Yamaha coming in behind the Repsol Hondas. Rossi is left wondering why he didn't get a contract with Piaggio using a Vespa perhaps as a pizza delivery boy lol.

Following the goings on the last three days provokes a sense of deja vu. I hope we aren't in for a re-run of 2011, and that someone can actually make a race of it.

David Emmett's take on that.

Yeah like I said who needs a two stroke. To be honest with you the way the four strokes rev and except for the slight overtone of a deeper bark in there and those super slick gear changes, it reminds me slightly of the sound of TZ750 anyway that had a reasonably deep bark for a two stroke

Bring some more gearing for that track!

It says it was a Sunday ride, and he sure aint slick shifting. If Casey's bike just rattled and blubbered a bit it would sound very similar I reckon and they are very alike on the throttle. I just played the two videos together at the same time which is quite interesting.

Unexpected Spanish inquisition
And now a real man on a Sunday ride(fast forward to about 3.55 for the actual riding, if you must):
And the King on another Sunday ride, this time at Imola:
