MOTOGP » Sepang III test times - Wednesday

Jacko when was Nicky faster than Rossi on race tyres??? are you seeing somthink i'am not

Nicky slower than the last test at Sepang - is this the negative development that Pedrosa was wingeing about?

Jacko...i'll have whatever ur smoking please!

rossi fastest on qualifying and race tyres by a bit.

i still dont understand why the rest of the ducatis seem to struggle (previous tests)?
pretty sure honda will produce the right engine!

I think the reason the rest of the Ducatis struggle is because Stoner isn't riding them. I do think he is the one making the difference (ouch that hurt!!) As Iv'e said before, Ducati need stoner and stoner needs Ducati.

Rossi is looking real strong now and as Slow Joe said, a few tenths difference between the Yamaha and the last Ducati time here could be down to track conditions. Great season ahead (I hope).

Looking at the "common point" between Sepang II and III, being Nicky, I don't know how Stoner would look under identical conditions. I mean Nicky is now more than 0.5 s. slower than when he set the best time at Sepamg II. I Really don't know

Fastest Sepang III test time:06/02/2007:
Valentino Rossi ITA Fiat Yamaha (B) 2min 0.472 secs (Qualifying tyre)
Nicky Hayden USA Repsol Honda (M) 2min 0.900 secs (Qualifying tyre)

Fastest Sepang II test times:24/01/2008:
Nicky Hayden USA Repsol Honda (M) 2min 0.326secs (Qualifying tyre)
Casey Stoner AUS Ducati Marlboro (B) 2min 0.660 secs (Qualifying tyre)
Valentino Rossi ITA Fiat Yamaha (B) 2min 1.425 secs (Qualifying tyre)

What these times show is simply that if Casey was in attendence again at Sepang 3 he would of had to have not improved at all over his Sepang 2 times for rossi to be quicker than him on the BS qualifiers..... Can anyone honestly say that would even really be remotely likely especially after Casey's P.I. further development period on the 08 Duc! "REALITY CHECK PLEASE"

Roll on Jerez, wonder if Casey can have that BMW delivered to him in rosso red?

I agree Marty, Stoner is awesome at everything he does, even when he isn't there he beats them all (in spirit!). I bet he makes a fab cup of tea (in a pole time too!)

Im sure he wipes his backside sphincter hole the best as well...rated by the robostone clown groupies

I am sure he doesnt have to worry about that to much Gina , as he has everybody behind him to do it for him
