“I just pushed a little bit soon with a new front tyre,” said Spies of the fall.

So now he knows where the limit is on a new tire and will be over his early lap tentativeness?

Hopefully. I have high expectations of Spies this season. I wonder why Lorenzo only did 16 laps. And on a test bike with experimental chassis at that.

Gotta read more closely, mang.   Wink

But for comparison, Spies' team-mate and reigning MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo - who spent some time on the Yamaha test bike today - only recorded 16 of his 45 laps under 2min 2sec.

I know everyone is saying this, but DAYUM, those Hondas are on it.

Nicky said that Ducati is basically running the 2010 Ducati with minor updates and some engine changes and that Rossi is moving closer to Nicky's settings?   Interesting . . .

I wonder how much progress The Ben has made on his initial coupla laps?  No way to tell, but we'll see come race time.  It's nothing unusual that he is fast and that he is consistently fast.  He did the same thing last year.  The problem was the 20-30 seconds he gave away at the beginning of the race.

I hope Rossi didn't contract Stoner's "mystery virus".

You can oush it if Rossi does not make it out tomorrow. It would simply be a disaster if they're making changes in Qatar.

"(On a side note, Zeelenberg quoting Pirelli marketing slogans should have the conspiracy theorists working overtime, as rumors - some extremely reliable - persist that Pirelli is to take over as single tire supplier when Bridgestone's contract runs out at the end of 2011.)"

this might be the most interesting sentence in that article.  if that pans out the totally new 2012 bikes are really going to be *totally* new.  sidewall construction strategies between bridgestone and pirelli are as different as they could be.

Uh, did ya really expect that Ducati was going to get it together for the beginning of 2011?  For 2012, there is a much better chance. 

Also, before you hit the panic button, don't forget 2006.  The beginning of the season sucked for Vale until they got their shit together.  True, he blew the championship all on his lonesome (despite the help at Estoril from make the beast with two backswad McAlwayssecondplace), but it's a long season.  The big difference between 2006 and now is the sharp end of the field now is really amazing, and riding under a regime bikes where the bike matters more than it used to.  I just can't see Ducati pulling it off.  They may get their shit together after a while, but there is a real risk of the championship running away from them early on.  One advantage is that right now there are so many people who look good that if riders keep trading podium positions, they'll keep any single person from running away with it early.
