So who would have thought that Yahama would be in 4th / 3rd and 2nd, & would you have put any money on the fact that the quickest of all 3 was C.E the 2nd ???

Good work from the Texan.

Answer 1

Hey Wiggy

Looks like it's been an interesting day again, shocker about Edwards - last years engine isn't it? So who knows what the h**l will happen tomorrow.

One oddity (what? Only one?) for me was Nakano & Dovi finishing ahead of Haydon, who'd have thunk it? He works d**n hard, but seems to be getting no joy from that machine -wtf??

Answer 2

I think DePuniet was on qualifiers (which he always goes well on), so its probably a bit of a false impression at the moment. Although he's always been fast and seemed to have a decent race pace as well. It just remains to be seen if he can actually stay rubber side down for the racing. I seem to remember that this time last year, the same sort of things were being said about a certain Mr Stoner!

Glad to see the Yams up there too. And its looking good for JT. Although he was down in 11th today (still ahead of the likes of Vermeulen, West & melandri), he had a different electronics package on than Colin and was suffering severe chatter at the back all day, costing him at least a second a lap. He's gonna use the same thing as Colin tomorrow, and Colin reckons it sorts a lot of the problems out.

Probably shouldn't read too much into testing, but its still pretty interesting, and just wets the appetite for the season to come.
