Today the full complement of MotoGP riders roared back into action for the first time in 2010 at Sepang, after a first day exclusively available to test riders, who performed ‘shakedown’ sessions on their machines yesterday. It was a positive start for the two Ducati MotoGP Team riders, who were 2nd and 7th fastest respectively. Stoner, who expressed his satisfaction with the new engine, was quickly on the pace and then focused on the set-up of his bike trying to solve a problem of chatter. Hayden, who was also testing a new fairing today, set a good pace but struggled with the same problem as his team-mate. The pair are now looking forward to working more on the base settings of the GP10 and are confident of improving it tomorrow. Weather-wise it was a demanding day for all of the riders, with ambient temperatures reaching 40°C and the thermometer hitting 60°C on the track. Around fifteen minutes before the scheduled end of the test, a light rain shower brought it to an early conclusion. The track will be open again tomorrow from 9am to 5pm for the second and final day of the test. 1. Rossi (Yamaha) 2:01.411 (54 laps) 2. Stoner (Ducati) 2:01.902 (42) 3. Edwards (Yamaha) 2:01.932 (48) 4. Capirossi (Suzuki) 2:02.102 (58) 5. Lorenzo (Yamaha) 2:02.165 (57) |
