This is why I said encouraging. Honda has admitted that the same bike they tested at Valencia is being tested at Sepang. If that is the case, then it's all up to the rider to adjust, which is what Casey does best. Lorenzo also seems to have adjusted extremely well to the new bike. For it being the first day out on the new bike I can only hope for steady improvement.

No idea why Casey only ran 4 laps.
supposedly Casey Stoner "I was stretching this morning for a good twenty minutes preparing to go out on track for the first time and then all of a sudden my back just locked up on me, I couldn't move or do anything. I had to call someone to come and help me move into a position that was less painful! Then I had some physio on it straight away trying to get it better for this afternoon but it's wasn't feeling good.
I had some more physio after lunch but it still wasn't easing up, I felt I could have gone out on the bike in the afternoon but we all agreed it would probably make it worse for tomorrow. We have two more days testing here in Sepang, we know the track well and we are getting to know the bike, we just need some time to test the new parts we have here to give feedback to HRC.
I think tomorrow the track conditions will be better and as long as my back improves overnight we should get back on schedule with our testing programme tomorrow". |

From the article I understood that the track was a little wet. Maybe Casey back cramps up every time he feels rain  Anyway, he can probably afford to sit out a test session. I would not worry about him making good times in the near future. |

Wish I had someone sitting around all day just waiting to massage and rehab my back every time it acts up! Rough life.  He'll come back with a vengeance and break the track record 5-6 times.   |

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.

Still, all in all, a rather positive story.  |

Definitely very encouraging news. I am keeping my fingers crossed for steady improvements leading up to the start of the 2012 season.

It may be me imagining things, but Hayden just doesn't look that comfortable on the bike in the gallery photos, which is understandable.
I believe he is still feeling the effects of his scapula-ectomy. |
