The three-day test marks the debut of the 2008 Yamaha YZR-M1 and the return of world champion Casey Stoner from a shoulder injury sustained at Jerez last November.
So ace, you still haven't given your excuse as to why casey isn't on top...that and how Rossi is already up there with them on only his 2nd time out on stones? come on...it's got to be a good one...
I know, I know...these times really don't mean much yet... Cheers to the start of fact based arguments!
Times look good if you ask me, shame about dani, i really think he could do something this season, lets hope he comes back just as strong and fast.
Good to see Rossi up there on the times as well, but most of all, im glad caparossi has gone faster than the ducati's what a way to stick it to them, i hope he wipes the floor with melandri this season just to show ducati they were wrong.
Lets look forward to tomorrow and see what the times bring.
1st day of practice show a sign De Puniet has prove me wrong about his decision moving to Honda.
Wait a minute.. It's not fair! One of his crew which is came along from Kawasaki has replace the Showa with Ohlin suspension from Ilmor's scrapyard. Somehow, it's has cure the Honda's hickup. Otherwise, he may end up the same as Pedrosa today
Salute to De Puniet and LCR...

Still a big difference with Nicky's fastest time, but a good performance by Randy..
Really sorry for Dani, but Randy is motivated racer on the LCR-bike.
I wonder how the 2007 Honda bike really compares to the new 2008 factory version later in the season or if Honda, as usual, forgets the NON-Factory bikes completely, just cashing in on a pseudo competitive lawnmower...

Good To see Loris doing so well straight out of the box. Far too early to tell anything... but I have a feeling that we are in for an exciting season. Can't wait to see session II times.

suzooks fast at sepang?? ain't that one of their bogey tracks? if they got this track sorted, wonder how they'll go at tracks they good at! i'd love to see the suzooks at the front. but what i really want is for ALL (maybe not de puniet ;) ) of them to be competitive and i mean all of them. The rossi/ stoner fans and their constant stupid bickering is just boring me now
the first race can't come soon enough also can't wait to see them at indy
It's early at the moment you can't take much notice of the times as we don't know who was testing what,I note that many riders stayed on base tyres it seems that the tyre testing will come after they get a chassis/motor set up.Many of the riders had front end problems were they all using the same forks,perhaps they could go back to the girder forks they do give front feeling and thats only in the pits Suzuki seem to be the best positioned with both riders consistent to each other and wasn't Sepang a boogy track for them looks like the secret Phillip Island testing may pay off.Whats going on with Marco.Dani's injury doesn't look real good for the 1st race down to 17 top riders.ACE27???
