MOTOGP » Valencia MotoGP test times - Monday

Hayden faster than Gibbers....the battle begins!

all the normal names there then, no surprise, but this is only the first test and first time on bridgestones for many of the riders, i for one will be following closely over the winter and hope it will be close and provide closer racing next year.

can''t wait for next season already it''s going to be the dogs **********

COME ON ROSSI!!

As you were!

As though there was going to be any big surprises in the top 3.

I think, if you look @ dovi''s time...he''s only 3 tenths off his fastest race lap and he''s on a completely new honda and new tyres..

I think that''s pretty steady going.

Everybody was quicker except Dovi and Nicky?

New bikes, New tyres still the same 3 at the top.
Impressed with Mika Kallio as his time is not far off Hayden, Gibernau.

Skater,

Just read through that and found myself nodding at nearly every word Rossi said.

Trouble is you can't uninvent the wheel, and to change the regs again back to 990's, the world would go into meltdown!

The variety has gone in such a short time, a few years back with the 990, we had a 3 cylinder, a V5, V4, inline 4, now we have a form of production racing, everything is so simarlar.

WSB is so more exciting, more people can ride on the edge and over it, and there is two bites of the cherry with two races a day.

Espelata panicked with the 990's, cos he didn't know what he was doing, a bit like the one make tyre rule and all the electronics now.

Sack Dorna, bloody useless

Nice one Skater, lets hope the toptossers who make the rules read it. To come from the world champion makes it hit home even more. Nobody can say it's sour grapes.

same top 3 riders eurosport will be sadly missed toby julian and randy were awesome to listen to even though the commercial breaks were a pain. Also no more qualifying to watch next year dam. (i presume)
