MOTOGP » Sepang MotoGP test times - Friday.

Meaningless. All the fast boys are not there.

Very true Wayne and Marc,
the Jerez test may tell us a bit more as Rossi, Pedrosa and the Ducatis will be there but it's still testing.
The only moment that matters is when the red lights go out at Qatar '08 (provided it isn't a power cut )

Does anyone know if Honda will be passing out the 08' bike to everyone or just to Repsol? If Dovi gets on an 08 machine, he'll be like Stoner in 06 without all the crashes.

They probably all get one but Dovi last...

According to eurosport the satellite Honda riders will get the bike that Repsol finished this year with

That's not the best news... after all they are developing something new at the moment.

I agree with Wayne, well not totally meaningless, but Casey and Dani
I guess could go 0,5-0,8 sec faster. Regardless, interesting to see
Jorge "struggle" as the 800cc are "so easy" to adapt when one comes
from 250cc. JT is doing quite fine, and I will bet my best
rollerskies on that he will make top 10 overall and better than
Edwards. I wonder how things are between Jorge and Dani, will Jorge
try to play with Dani as Rossi did with Max?

If Edwards get some boost (doesn't want to be back JT), than I
actually can see a scenario were Tech 3 beat Fiat Yamaha at the end
of the year. I don't think Jorge will manage that good next year,
specially at wet races. These small Spanish dudes are not really
rain masters. While both JT and Edwrads are good when the rain
comes down. Rossi as usual do his best any way, but he will
manage to beat both JT and (motivated) Edwards.

Jorge can't even come near Dani, in his dreams maybe.
The only playing he'll do is with the settings of the traction control.
Pedrosa is entering his third season in MotoGP, Honda got their development of the 800 underway,
he's a serious title contender.

and to remind the audience - its a bit easier to adjust from the 250's to the 800's if having a 990cc crash year in between / - versus these new 250 rookies that had only a cpl weeks so far to learn - FYI.
