I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

The Ben did a ton fewer laps than Jorge on the 800, but about equal on the 1000cc.  Looks like he was saving his neck for the 1000cc or was otherwise pacing himself throughout the day.

I'm getting more and more pessimistic about the 1000s.  I don't think they are going to be any more fun to watch than the 800s.  They'll still put a premium on corner speed, gas consumption and tire heat.  And rider weight will still be a big factor .  

Unfortunately, I just don't think we're not going to see anything like the passing and the hangin' the ass-out style of the 990s, not with the current engine management and TC systems, tire construction and fuel limits.  But I'll be really happy if I'm proven wrong.

Someone enlighten me -- why, then, is Ducati running only the 800 in this test?

Marginally scientific comparison:

Of the riders who raced, then tested their same 800, the average lap time improvement was 0.684 sec.

Of the riders who raced, then tested the 1000, the average lap time improvement was 1.020 sec.

So, 0.336 sec. difference......

I imagine that they're running 'race' fuel maps in the 1000's.

 - they have already tested the 1000cc more than any other factory team so far this year.  

 - they have a long way to go in 2011 yet

 - the GP11.1 is the 1000, albeit destroked

there are also rumors that the GP12 will be closer to 900 than 1000cc for fuel reasons.

the RC213v will be "between 800 and 1000cc".. nice and vague

The fuel limitation will kill the 1000s in the end, at least for next year. I think with an dditional year, they will be able to engineer a more fuel efficient 1000cc motor. Whomever gets there first will dominate. So in closing, fuel efficiency will make the next champion. Go figure.
