An my hero Rossi back in the mix!! along with the usual suspects of Pedrosa and Lorenzo. Three spaniards in the top 3!!

Is MOTO-GP and WSB going to be shown as usual? thanks Randy Well all this is great, but I do not see the first FIM WSB listed (Phillip Island)as being shown on SPEED.

I read in an interview somewhere that he's like 80% back in form with cardio on like 60% strength. That's quite a bit. He'll be a better show at the next test, I'm guessing. I'm hoping!

That is not the same as being that close in a race but it is looking like we may have 4 aliens again with Marquez playing the Casey Stoner roll. I hope Marquez rides like Stoner but without the constant whining. Who knows, the factories and riders may make up for the constant stupidity of the FIM and provide a good show this year. Odds are against it since we still have stupidly small gas tanks and electronics overriding the riders but we can hope. Goose Well, Rossi is only 0.12 seconds off Lorenzo on the final day.

If Nicky stays ahead of Dovi through the 1st few races then maybe it will boost his value and attract offers from other teams. Rossi has vindicated himself well too. If he can close within a couple more 10th's then he should be very competitive at race distance. Interesting results, even if it’s only the 1st test.

What a bummer about Spies- shesh! I would love to see him up there but that simply aint gonna happen on a Duc, regardless of the new owners (Audi/VWG), or at least not for roughly the next 4 years.

Marquez is looking fast already as well. Disappointing performance for Spies, he's apparently not back, yet. Ducati is still down as well, too bad, I always like Dovi. 6 riders within 1 second of the fastest bodes well for the season. Marquez is looking fast already as well.
