    If it is televised then it will probably be on motogp.com , i dont think tests are shown live as they span nearly all day. eurosport sometimes show highlights of tests a week or 2 after

    None are televised, best bet is to keep an eye on the usual twitter sources

    @motomatters

    @alex briggs

    @motogpjules

    and of course, myself, @valentinomossy

    PS, CRT bikes started testing today in valencia, RDP fastest.

    I can't wait to see all the new bikes out on track, and especially looking forward to seeing Colin Edwards on his CRT bike and how well the Gresini CRT bike goes with the Blade engine fitted.

    Day 1... Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Crutchlow, Spies, Rossi, Dovizioso, Barbera, Nakasuga, Bautista, Hayden, Bradl, Abraham, Edwards, Silva, Torres.

    Get on it Crutchlow. Always said the 1000's would suit him better.

    For those that don't know, Stoner tweaked his back putting his leathers on this morning and didn't ride.

    Edwards 8 seconds off the pace.

    The important thing as far as ducati are concerned, is how rossi thinks the bike is reacting to input. He is very happy the way it handles, brakes, turns and improves by the odd tenth of a second every time they change something.

    Sorry i didnt mean that was were you got your times from. but it still says on motogp.com's timing that edwards was 6.5 seconds slower. but i accept they could also be wrong

    Does'nt look great for Edwards I agree Craig but not quite as bad as it first sounds. If you look at Dovi in 6th back, Colin was'nt that far back and realistically this is the very first shake down for them where as the factory teams will have had development and track time with test riders. Granted CRT won't challenge works bikes but I m hoping they will be improved dramatically as the season goes on, funding and testing time allowing of course.
