    Still waiting for Honda to be in top 3 consistently :-( :-( But indeed, a cracking start for lowes!

    Testing is testing, the bull shit stops when the flag drops.

    I think it'll be the usual suspects up front, Kawasaki and Aprillia closely followed by the rest when it comes to full race distance and maintaining the pace. As you say testing gives little indication, it's all about sustaining race distance

    No superpole for qualifying,gone down the Moto gp road where the fastest riders from free practice go straight through to a second round and giving the rest a second chance in the first qualifying session to join them.
    I used to like the Superpole with the 2 qualifying tyres and 3 sessions where the top riders had to gamble on keeping back there qualifying tyres.
