MotoGP - Testing of new bikes and riders.......

[PrestigeCBR]

Teams start testing tonight their new 2011 bikes, some with new riders!

Question is who will shine!
No doubt Stoner will fly on the Honda and so will Lorenzo on the Yamaha, how will Rossi go on the Ducati?

I'm thinking;
Stoner,
Lorenzo,
Rossi,
Pedrosa,

What do you think.......will have some answers tomorrow

I have been told that Jeremy Burgess and crew have pulled the Ducati bikes apart and rebuild them ready for the test.
All day Monday was spend setting it up for Rossi's liking and riding style.
This is the first time they laid eyes on Casey's (ex) machine.
Looking forward to see the Aussie blitz the timesheets on his new team HONDA REPSOL bike!

I'm thinking;
Stoner,
Lorenzo,
Rossi,
Pedrosa,

would love to see a reault like the one you have predicted, but the realist in me gives the edge to the guys who don't have to get used to new machinery;

lorenzo,
pedrosa,
stoner,
spies (my darkhorse pick),
rossi,
hayden.

^^ don't think so

The first day of post-season testing at Valencia, including the debut of Valentino Rossi with Ducati and Casey Stoner with the factory Honda team, has been delayed by a damp track at Valencia.

The weather has improved since earlier rain, but the track is silent at present as riders wait for it to dry.

Almost one hour after the track 'opened', Rossi arrived on a scooter and walked into the back of the Ducati pits in casual clothes.

Rossi's crew chief Jerry Burgess is wearing plain black and, like most team members, is stood in pit lane chatting.

Italian superstar Rossi will not be able to talk to the press after the test, but Ducati Corse boss Filippo Preziosi is expected to comment.

Seven time MotoGP champion Rossi, who has ridden a Yamaha since 2004, will try both a 'big bang' and the previous 'screamer' engine design for Ducati at this test.

Rossi will ride a plain black bike with a yellow 46.
