I know manufacturers have been chasing smaller and smaller tail sections for years to cut down on low pressure turbulence and smooth air flow coming off the bike but this is crazy, the back end is just a faired exhaust! It looks amazing.

Its been like that for years, take a look at my 999



Granted the exhaust is a tad mahoosive lol

Interestingly at 2.02.1 Stoner would have been an impressive 7th.

On pirro's scrubs... on a bike he's never ridden... on tyres he didnt know... on new electronics...and on the gp15.

And he hadnt ridden a gp bike in over a year....


Expect fireworks tomorrow.

I am no fan of Stoner but I may I be among the first to say that I was impressed with what he achieved. I look forward with relish to see if he can get to a 2m dead or below before the test is completed.

Why does anyone care about Stoner ? He is as relevant to this years MotoGP as John Terry is to next seasons Chelsea campaign !!!!!

Because.... oh, never mind.

No, honestly, enlighten me ? I get he is a fantastic rider but surely he either needs to take a sh** or get off the pot. He is a sideshow at best, a pointless one.

Because I am a fan of bike racing, I don't give a hoot who wins the series anymore, I want to be entertained so another seriously quick guy is more than welcome.
I don't watch the build up and turn off when the flag drops so don't give a fk if they have two heads or no personality.

This year I want to enjoy the racing, all the handbags and bh slapping can piss right off.


There, that reason enough for you?

Anyone else thinking that if Stoner is up there tomorrow, we will see him on the grid at the first race....?

Loving crazy Joe's helmet.

I hope so.

Not sure what equipment Stoners on but hes 0.5s slower than Iannone but in front of Dovi at the moment. 0.1s behind Rossi. Even as the worlds biggest Rossi fan, I so hope they can convince 27 to race.

On the gp15, mainly doing electronic back to back comparisons. He was about to go out for a fast lap when Baz's tyre destroyed itself.. now the soft tyre has been pulled, dont expect times to change

[chrisga]

Thanks. Good to see him out there making the right sort of times.

Oh, my.

Don't want sound like a michelin fanbert (well, let's be honest, they are the best), but could it be some problem with the bike - a piece detaching etc..?

Was that a Pilot Road 4?
