Very tough tests with 15 riders in less than a second and 10 in less than half. If the level seemed high last year, this one will be even higher.
Ducati has been fast in each session but doesn't surprise that much, usually the problems come out during the race. However the engineer Gigi Dall'Igna is confident and the scope this season is the victory with no excuse.
Impressive Stoner who even if away from competition for a while, he is still fast and in the first day registered the best lap time.
News from the Yamaha Factory team with the aerodynamic modification they brought: it's a double air intake besides the radiator in the same position where the more dangerous wings were. This is something which created some controversy, but it has been approved and also the other teams could get inspiration by that. Let's see what happens...
Good impressions from Valentino and he is in perfect shape even after the holidays.
Good improvements also by Aprilia which is only 7 tenths from the lead with Aleix Espargaro.
The tests are not over, indeed the riders will move to Philip Island for half February to go on. For sure this is a better season period compare to the one chosen for the race last year. If I know Lorenzo, for sure he hopes in sunny days...
