MOTOGP » Sepang MotoGP test times - Thursday.

Go Randy! Good effort.

Randy never has had issues going fast, but he crashes a lot, and is inconsistent. He regularly was quickest on the Kawi during practise and testing too, but never kept the pace for 20+ laps in a race.

green envy everybody knows what youre saying but one day randy will put it all together and he will be vice champ behind casey !!

We are just waiting for gina to talk dirt about Casey....
So, what is wrong now with Casey?

What's wrong is that he isn't there.

I just thought I'd post this info about Ben Spies' testing at Valencia. I read an article about it yesterday. I hadn't read anywhere on this site that Spies had even tested. So anyways, Spies has NEVER been on a GP bike, Never used Bridgestones, Never used Carbon Brakes, and never even been to Valencia before. Keep that in mind while I write that after 3 laps on the circuit he turned times quicker than Ant West in the race, by the end of his 33 lap "demo" ride, He was within 1 SECOND of John Hopkins' fastest lap, and had a faster pace then Chris Vermulen. John Hopkins finished 3rd in the race! Suzuki said they didn't even set the bike up for his style, they just gave him Hopkins' race bike.

now yes, I'm from US. But i don't care where u r from or even how biased u r about american riders. That is impressive, to say the least. Suzuki said they couldn't believe it. I guess the reason we didn't read this on this site was because Spies was listed as a Journalist and rode the Suzuki on Journalist day. He was only able to do 33 laps due to weather.

Your point being?

Is there someone who knows how much the teams can do wintertests?

WayneUSA I'm from the US and I never saw anything about that and I read all the US articles as well as the european sites. The way Kevin Schwanz talked about it spies adapted well, but needs to change some of his style to suit the Moto gp bike. Kevin even claimed he could keep up with Spies. So in other words I highly doubt your imaginary info unless you can provide a legitimate source.
