Nicky closed the gap to Jorge to a small 1,5 seconds! :frown: and beat dovi by .05 sec now we're going places! ....
Seen the pics on Facebook? Pirro on a new Desmo with what looks like a proper side mounted exhaust, different radiator which suggests engine position change or different engine... apparently he's gone 2 seconds quicker on this bike today compared to what Corse and Pramac have currently
I think this test is giving some indications re true pace, more than the last one. And what I see isn't really worth shouting about. 1.5" off the pace and the Test team behind the first CRT..
In fairness the top CRT is ridden by Espagaro who imho is wasted talent riding a CRT and should be on a factory bike.
RdP isn't wasted anywhere. He's continually on the floor with a bike in bits. You'd need to have a massive bike budget to afford to employ him. Quick over a lap, DNF after several.
RDP on the Honda was great to watch. All over the place? Yep. Great racing? Yep. Shots of smoking hot pit girls and girlfriend in the pits? Check Check :biggrin:
RDP was another Ducati victim, on the Honda he was pretty consistent until the big off and bust his leg, lost his edge a bit after that
