MOTOGP » Jerez MotoGP test times - Tuesday.

LOL...Casey wanted to prove so bad that he is fastest, he wiped out his 2008 bike Just like the greatest crasher he is. Meanwhile, Rossi was right on his tail with the Bridgestone Tyres. Guess he knew what he was talking about afterall. The man is a genius.

Just wait until Rossi gets those B'stones dialled into his 2008 M1 and hopefully that will level Stoner's playing field. I'll watch the remainder of this current Jerez test with anticipation until then!

Nice one JT, less than a second off your team mate and taking scalps like Melandri/Dovi(Easy to ride) and westy!!

Way to go!!

Agreed, great to see JT in the thick of things and improving. Very interesting that Vale is instantly quick on the Bridgestones and not too far in front of Colin.
I don't much like the bloke but I'm glad to see Lorenzo up there and looking determined, by both number of laps and lap times, to mix things up.

Let's see what ridiculous statements of 'fact' follow in other peoples comments...

Nice one James - I don't think he's raced at Jerez before! What's the point of having tyre testers so far off the pace - how do they know what the tyres are going to do at the speed that the top riders are doing????!

As the name says, its testing, there are any number of things the teams could be trying which may or may not make it to next season's bike. Making any judgments based on the results of testing (especially in the early offseason) is ridiculous.

Lets see when race day comes and see when GP8 is dialled!!!!

You Rousie had to be fast!

Ok, It's early days but what have we got. Stoner out in front. No change there. Dani is closing the gap (2007 or 2008 bike anyone?) and Rossi is already fast on a brand new tyre manufacturer with no data (and still fastest Yamaha and 2007 bike I believe). All these three missed the last test and are still the fastest.

Of the rest, Edwards is fast, Lorenzo also, Hopkins dissapointing and West more so. JT impressive, Melandri not. That Ducati does indeed look tricky to get the best out of.

All this is probably irrelevant as the guys are just warming up. Can't wait until tomorrow!

Good to see Rossi on the pace... As for JT... good on you mate, getting faster every time. Most surprising thing in these tests so far for me... surprised it's taking Melandri so long to adapt to the Ducati. I didn't think he'd match Stoner right away but am surprised he's been so far off the pace. JT is on an inferior bike and never ridden these tracks and already he's faster...

I hope Marco get's up to speed as he's far more likeable and interesting than the WC...
