MOTOGP » Sepang II MotoGP test times - Tuesday

I read that it wasn't a pullout, they were just 'in discussion' with ducati without definite outcome.
Team KR want to secure funds first, they don't mind coming back later in the season as it should be a multi year deal,
Dorna has given them an opening to start participating later in the year if they want.

What happen to Ducati pulling out, The Vagas sponser is old, I thought they pulled out as well, thats why KR has been serching for sponser all year???

While too soon to say much, it is obvious that the Ducati is not so easy to just jump on and go fast, Marco is still "slow", while Casey is about as fast as Randy. Will be interesting to see how the other M1 guys are doing comparing to Rossi on Bridgstones, I think Rossi will not benefit a lot from Bridgstones this ye****

Team Roberts are actually close to a breakthrough wih a major sponsor, Treasure Island from Las Vegas and MGM Grand Group, it involves funding several sports including Nascar and should be a deal for several years.
If it works out the can start later in the season with either Ducati engines or complete bikes.
Keep your fingers crossed

Dani is a tuff bugger, PI two broken legs.....Brno kamakazi on Hayden. He will be good to go come Qatar but I reckon it will take some months to get back to %100, maybe june/july, Just riding could irritate that kind of injury. I guess we can only really judge it by his upcoming performances, same for the champ and Rossi.

So long, Team Roberts, we will miss you. Sayonara.

de puniet still has to make it to the finish line tho...

It's early at the moment you can't take much notice of the times as we don't know who was testing what,I note that many riders stayed on base tyres it seems that the tyre testing will come after they get a chassis/motor set up.Many of the riders had front end problems were they all using the same forks,perhaps they could go back to the girder forks they do give front feeling and thats only in the pits Suzuki seem to be the best positioned with both riders consistent to each other and wasn't Sepang a boogy track for them looks like the secret Phillip Island testing may pay off.Whats going on with Marco.Dani's injury doesn't look real good for the 1st race down to 17 top riders.ACE27???

suzooks fast at sepang?? ain't that one of their bogey tracks?
if they got this track sorted, wonder how they'll go at tracks they good at!
i'd love to see the suzooks at the front. but what i really want is for ALL (maybe not de puniet ) of them to be competitive and i mean all of them. The rossi/ stoner fans and their constant stupid bickering is just boring me now

the first race can't come soon enough
also can't wait to see them at indy

Looks like poor old Marco has got his work cut out for him.
