Guess who's testing a Ducati at Valencia today?

yeah I'm with jeeps... I don't think anyone riding today has a chance... it'll be a couple years after Rossi's gone before anyone stands a chance to make a solid run at it... but by then the rules and regs will have everything so tight that even rider skill will be taken somewhat out of the equasion... ie traction control

Hayden set those times on the GP8, I'm not sure how he did on the GP9 with the carbon fiber frame.

Nah, he rode the GP8 for the opening laps on the first day, but his fastest laps both days were on the GP9.

I'm a huge Nicky fan, but I'd be surprised if he finished ahead of Pedrosa in the championship. (Doesn't mean I won't wish for it, though...)

You all know how much I like stars...but I am not feeling the look of Hayden's bike.

I cannot wait to see how well he does though!

Rossi's bike looks great.

I doubt thats the final scheme.

Exactly. Or atleast I hope...cuz that thing is ugly.
