MotoGP Sepang Test Times

[Liam_]

Testing got underway today in Malaysia.
Can't really take anything from the first test, still a lot of new parts to be fitted to the bikes and new bikes not present.

Yamaha do have the seamless gearbox ready and will be at the second test in 2 weeks, Ducati don't have this years bike yet and will be present for the 2nd test.

Hopefully we are in for a good season, i don't want to see that c**t Marquez running away with it again.

Rossi was leading the time sheet all day, Marquez put a new tyre on the bike with 5mins left of testing just to lead the timing sheet.

I think the whole Marquez thing is inevitable.

Good to see Rossi quicker than Lorenzo but I don't think he has the consistency or the balls nowadays to push hard enough to really challenge Marquez.

Suzuki looking sad

Testing is just testing. Redding improved 0.7 in his last outing, he'll improve more by the end of the three days thinks I.

Should be a good year.

Aye, a bit too early to say Suzuki looking sad. Alex Asparagus only 2 secs behind world champ....Not too shabby.


If my memory is correct the next test will be televised.
It'll take time before the Yam riders learn how to exploit the seamless box.

Don't want to wish time away but.....c'mon.

Yam aren't using seamless until Sepang II.

I think Rossi is going to be really fast this year, isn't he the oldest on the grid as well?

I think it's going to be a fantastic season, I can't wait!

Rossi's 'winter' lid is very cool.

I hope Redding pulls his finger out.

Vinales going fairly well.

Suzuki appear to have sorted reliability. Amount of laps similar to the others, so unless they either had a line of other bikes waiting or the fastest engine fitters, I conclude they have a reliable and not sluggish motorcycle with a hungry mental lad riding it.

Nice 1 Suzuki.

3rd and final session for this test. Next one is at the end of the month where Ducati will have the new GP15 and Yamaha will have its seamless gearbox.
I'm impressed with Suzuki, Aleix Espagaro 10th
