Ace27 - it's not like PI is the only circuit on the calendar that he's been to before... Think Valencia, Donington, Laguna Seca, Misano, Qatar, Assen and Brno (He's won SBK races at most of them too!). Plus he'll have done a fair bit of testing at Sepang and Jerez.

I'll admit he's got tracks to learn and still has lots to learn about the bike.

Don't be fooled by the easygoing outward personality you see in the paddock. He's a real hard fighter once he gets the leathers on..

Go James!!

If Nicky gets sick of the Pedrosa bias at HRC, maybe him and James can swap!

I fancy seeing Nicky and Vale together on the M1.

I wonder if all those people who said JT would amount to nothing will place a comment on here. I said wait til the Philip Island test, and check it out.
I can't wait for the racing to start. Go on the BRIT...

To52land is actually 4th, not 3rd, because Colin Edwards' first day time was better, but still it's a very impressive achievement and I look forward to seeing James during the season... I'm pretty sure he will take things steadily and sensibly as he always did, and like Vermeulen did...

It sounds like we'll have a very exciting season!

I'm delighted that JT has proven he is capable of running right on the pace
of things at the sharp end! I soooo much want him to do well in MotoGP, christ it's been
long enough for those of us old enough to remember the halcyon days of Barry Sheene!
Maybe now we have a guy we can *really* shout for in the top category!

I can only hope that Yamaha see sense and give him decent equipment. Afterall, he's
been the epitomy of professionalism and hasn't gone lobbing the bike at the scenery!
Just got on with the job, not complained and progressed at every test.

GO JT! :)

You only go by each seperate days times though WhoCares. Afterall, qualifying
times from Friday's aren't used to determine the grid anymore. (Except in abysmal conditions of course)

Whatever way you look at it, he has exceeded everyones expectations!

Steady on boys - it's only testing! One thing for sure, he's a great talent,fights like a pit-bull and not afraid of anyone no matter how big their reputations. Can't wait to see the likes of Elias try it on with him - I know who my monies on and he don't wear a sombrero! If Yamaha give him a fast bike he could be a top 5 contender at least. Good luck to him...
