I think MM has proved he's in the right series, Danni needs to win or at least be him to have any chance of staying on that bike next year. Rossi 1/2 second off Danni in 4th, he must be relieved
Smith and Cal have got enough talent to be winners for me we not had a Englishman with that edge since Foggy ,who should have got a moto gp ride . Val back on the pace and beating both our lads shows he still got it the Ducati is a joke a total shed Audi sort it out jesus !!!

Smith ahead of the Ducatis. Cal must be sat pissing himself in his motorhome at what a lucky escape he got
Great test results really - only a shame Casey won't be there next year - we are going to have a proper season again - and if he were still in there (admittedly with his mouth taped SHUT) it could have been an epic one..... Marquez is a brilliant rider, more like Casey than the others. Not surprised to see him straight up at the front. Not afraid or intimidated by them either, he will get right in there come season starts. 50/50 he beats Pedrosa as he is a scrapper. Pedrosa and Lorenzo both quick, as we all knew. Not much between them in pace, but Lorenzo is a class act of consistency so again I think he will pip Pedrosa over the season. And Vale - well, despite the armchair pundits writing him off, knocking him and his clown antics (which I agree are a bit irritating at times), and mocking the last few years, he has proved that he still has it, clearly. Straight out of the blocks, with 2 seasons less practice on that bike and he is on the pace immediately. This is great for the season, even if the Vale haters wanted to see him washed up. Doesn't look like that will happen. It remains to be seen if he still has the hunger to beat the other three in the necessary fist fight, but he is on the pace to do so if he wants to, and after this test - I bet he now thinks he has a BIG point to prove. The test was therefore almost humiliating for Ducati - what a mess. Clearly the bike is awful and Casey was a genius rider to get that to work, but even putting aside the riders you now have on the bikes, the fact that Vale could spend two years in 10th place and then go straight back to the top is just embarrassing. If racing wasn't really in their blood you would think Ducati would just quit. But I doubt Domencalli (sp?) will let that happen when it took them so long to get to a position to get into motoGP and win..... Got to hope there are some sparks of genius firing away in Borgo Panigale...... some young brilliant engineer coming up with something........ bumbling around the back and then retiring like Suzuki would be awful......
All looking very tasty so far but this is only testing and it will all change come 4th April, I'd really love to see Bradders and MM do well this season, doesn't look like Rossi is going to go away quietly but I can at least hope he doesn't win anything, I think if Pedrosa can stay ahead of Marquez and on the bike he will be champion.
