Moto GP Sepang day 1

Ducati 4th quick with their interim GP14.3 bike, 2 seconds a lap faster than they were this time last year with Dovi, top 4 Marquez, Rossi (breathing down his neck) Lorenzo, Dovi. Hopefully the GP15 DUC with be even better.

well Marc Marquez was fastest. barring any injury i guess we are watching for 2,3, and 4 positions. so it will be marc followed by (no particular order just my preference)

2. JLO
3. Danni
4. Rossi

but one could hope it will be more like this

2. jlo
3. danni
4 dovi
5 crazy joe
6 rossi

Really 1 and 2 are open. Rossi was 0.118 off of Marq. That's literally a few feet. Like 2 feet behind him in a race. Very close. Good year this year

he was 2 feet behind him most of the last year too, well until JLO got his act together. barring injury #1 isnt in doubt

just my opinion

you could agree with me or you can be WRONG

Should be another BORING year with only 3-4 riders who have any chance to win..WSBK is so much better to watch along with Moto3...

Day 2 is looking even better Dovi 2nd quick .052 behind Lorenzo, and ahead of Marquez.

Apparently its quite a bit hotter this test than the first. Track temps would be effecting grip...

Still good to Rossi in 1st and Marq showing he is mortal. 1 duc in the top ten is sad though.

Early days I know, but Suzuki is looking like they might have got it right, currently 4th fastest....

Dovi seems happy with the GP15.

1199 - I wonder exactly what he meant by they couldn't feel the bike the last feew years? Suspension, bike overall? No clue but he said they can now, so hopefully they crack to the top and stay there.

Lee I wasn't sure what Suzuki would do this year, I thought maybe mid pack running but 4th in testing is pretty damn good for a brand new bike.
