MOTOGP » Jerez MotoGP test times - Wednesday

Looks like Ducati has a bit of work to do, all their riders near the bottom.
Nicky is at the quicker end of the Ducatis, which is good to see.

Hey Crash, there''s no point in putting the (B) in the listings anymore.

It's the first day I know but you can bet Stoner will be going a lot faster than in the race last year on a new bike....

ps when do kawasaki and suzuki test?, would like to see how melandri is going on, reckon he'll top the timesheets which will have suzuki scratching their heads..

That's my boy!

Jorge is impressive being right there with little Bridgestone experience. Wow.

I think it will be more interesting to see how the times changed over the course of the test than just the one number...

@timeteam - Suzuki and Kawasaki are testing in Australia at Phillips Island

Suzuki and kawi are in austra:ia at PI.

Suzi and Kawasaki are trying to better the Phillip Island 107% cut off time....

Shame they arent all together to see how Melandri is fairing on a different bike.

Ah, Ducati seem to be in the same place as the 08 bike, right down near the bottom of the page. Unfortunately we cannot see what potential the new 09 bike has against it's rivals until Stoner returns from his rehab.

Stoners best race lap was a 41.3, so they are currently in the ballpark. Jerez and Ducati are like oil and water

With this new surface 2 weeks ago at the last CEV round the best formula extreme guys were doing high 42' in practice, 600 supersport 44'5, the track is faster than before.
