I am not reading too much as Rossi for example you know is totally analyzing the bike for feedback as apposed to trying to set the world on fire with the fastest lap times....

yup, that's pretty much what everybody is doing... or should be.

for reference, compare their testing times to their respective race times from sunday,

lot of talk about rossi trying to figure out the duc front end..

Preziosi just said that he expected Ducati to use a big bang engine next year. ROS didn't even try the screamer, HAY did, liked BB better

ROS liked the rear grip of the Ducati, liked the engine, didn't have a good feeling with the front.

ROS front end problem: To get confidence in the front, you need to push hard to heat the tire. Hard to go fast with no confidence.

The front end problem was different to the ones STO and HAY had, Preziosi said.

Preziosi also said he had been most impressed that ROS was so calm and positive after such a "bad test"

well it sure sounds like the same issue...

i'd love to hear how it's different. probably because it's rossi telling them.  Grin

Well now we wait for Sepang, and Rossi heads off to go under the knife. 

I'm curious to see what happens in Sepang.  You would assume Rossi will be fit.  If he's not near the top of the Sepang test charts, it might be time to worry.  For now I'm not paying much attention to his lap times.

WELL...the data could be showing where the front has more stiction or not in how Rossi pushes the front end as apposed to Casey did or Nicky does...so at this point in the corner wheer Casey starts to slide or Nicky does...Val is okay, but as a different point in the corner is where he loses the feeling...

just guessing like everyone else...

I don't think Rossi going to win the championship in 2011.  Keep your fingers crossed for 2012.

2012 is a brand new bike for everyone (again, for many).  that year may be an even bigger crapshoot.

and i don't know what i think yet about 2011.  rossi is still injured and this is only testing.. testing a bike he's never been on.  it's also the first 48 hours for jb, as well.  at least casey generally knows what to expect from a 'honda'.

i DO think it's rather interesting that The Ben is only .3 back... Smiley

JUST FOR GIGGLES...of the old guard here and the keepers of the archival wisdom...

when Rossi finally tested the M1 in 2003 for the 2004 season....what kind of times did he put on THAT machine then and how did he go about testing and so forth with it in comparo to the last 2 days?!?!?!

well.. there was a hell of a lot more testing allowed back then.  but i do recall that by the time they had finished fiddling over the winter (included going from screamer to big bang) rossi came to the preseason test at Catalunya and won the BMW.
