The Nickster on top, not to shabby for a bike that was built for midgets,
err, the size challenged...

 

Is it possible or even fair to try to make one table showing all the best
times for each rider for all days?

If I could find them all I would!

 

It's easily done, but of what value?
It's a test and times are dependant on what you are trying to learn.
It's not like a race weekend,where the focus is similar for everyone.
Remember the tire companies are testing as well.
And there will be more new stuff on the way before the final test of the
year.
Having the right tires can make a huge difference

 

What was interesting is that Sepang is considered a 'Stone track and Val
prolly did a softie to get that time. At PI Hayden seemed to have learned
something, but then again he's always been pretty strong there.
It's prolly all just so much posturing, but we'll see....

 

Which would be extra-worrying considering that Rossi qualifying a few
rows from the front doesn't seem at that much of a disadvantage.
Usually.

 

Yeah, I read something about him bitching that his ass was hangin' out on
top end, I bet Dani's doesn't..

Can you imagine how he'd of done with a set of trick Michelins?

Rub it in...
