It's scary how fast Stoner still is after this long off a bike.

Indeed. And he almost seemed cheery about his first high-speed get-off in four years:

Sorry 'bout that.  But while looking at the article, I noticed that everyone was reporting that Casey spent both days testing a GP16 without wings, which seems like an excellent idea to get data for next year.

But the bike he's pictured on in every shot I've seen from the text looks like:



And there's clearly the remnant of a wing on what's left of his crashed fairing:

Sam Wheeler died after a crash during test & tune at Bonneville this week. Chief Hooligan of the EZ-Hook streamliner project. I have no details as I wasn't there. I haven't yet told my wife.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

David Emmett pointed out some interesting details on the deal:

1) Paddock rumors that Melandri is taking the seat without pay, and will in fact be bringing $$ and sponsorship into the team, rather than drawing a paycheck.

2) He also notes that Davies' deal is for two years, but the Ducati press release only talked about 2017 in WSBK. It's no secret that Davies wants a competitive ride in the MotoGP show, and the way the phrase it certainly leaves the door open to at least a Pramac seat... if Pramac doesn't switch to Suzuki, that is.

Worth a full read, as always:
