Sepang MotoGP test times - Thursday 6pm

Sepang MotoGP test times as of 6pm on Thursday, the end of the third and final day at the first test session of 2012.
World champion Casey Stoner beat the best 800cc test time (and smashed the official lap record) on only his second lap, during cooler conditions this morning.

As reported, a thunderstorm shortly after 5pm effectively ended the test, but these are the official end of day lap times.

All twelve manufacturer riders were present for the three-day test, plus the Forward Racing and BQR 'Claiming Rule Teams'.

The also test marked the first time that the new version of the Ducati GP12 has been seen in public.

The next official test will be held back at Sepang from February 28-March 1.

    @ Mick - understand where you're coming from, but the sad fact is the goalposts are continually moving.
    Yes CE is improving the times, but each step forward is matched by the bigboys moving up as well.
    What CRT's need is some more of the guys like Barbera, Bautista on to speed their development (pun intended). Unfortunately CRT's will rely on the pay to ride guys - who may not be able to provide the feedback to take them in the right direction quickly.
