Plenty of tennis on.

It's normally Nordic skiing at this time of year while I'm waiting for bikes.

He's set a low 2:01 at Sepang. However, as no one has tested on Michelins/new electronics, it's all meaningless.

Didn't most people expect them to be going about a second slower this year? That's only 3/4s of a second off the fastest duke in race trim last year...

Wasn't it 202.1 he did? Not idea conditions apparently.

Anyway, what happened to the testing. Nothing on BT sport APP this morning at 2am, I stayed up specially!! e

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

Rain in the last 20mins so I guess most didn't do quick laps, explains Lorenzo's big gap at the top I suppose. Stoner joining the party tomorrow.

[tight5]

Lorenzo was fast all day.
Michelin has brought loads of new tyres to test(obviously), but the front tyres are supposed to be LOADS better.
Stoner on track with the rest for the next 2 days.
Miller has a broken leg from a motocross crash.

"While the premier class are in Qatar, the Moto2™ and Moto3™ World Championship riders will be in Jerez from the second to fourth of March for their first test in 2016."


Decent - for quite a few on here , riding Jerez March 5th - 7th , first destination from airport in hire-car race is to the circuit, catch the last afternoon of testing.

I would check first, we have had this before and they are not always open to the public, don't be surprised to be turned away at the gates, good luck though, and enjoy the circuit if you haven't been before, its great.
