motogp.com · 2012 Yamaha colours uncovered at Jerez So this is the new M1 and personally i love it, think it really looks good with a bit more white on it As for the final test does anybody see stoner being beaten this time around and can ducati continue to improve on a different track
looks lovely! so much better than last year.... i think if rossi gets in the top 6 he's done well. Stoner will be the man to beat, might see a couple come close - but lap times are his speciality so think he will smoke them all tbh
^^^ with Jimbo Hope ROssi does well and the yam looks good. just pissed in in the US for the first race but as I am taking my Ipad and have my Sky access on there and WiFi in the villa I may be able to watch it next to the pool in the sun

Cal is doing the business there!! Go on son... Rossi exactly where he left off. Gutted Half a second off Hayden ffs
Very impressive from randy that is. im sorry but that is not rossi's true pace. there is no way he is that much slower than hayden. what the hell is he doing
normal service resumed Stoner top and rossi dwindling down mid table. Still a few days left yet for VR to turn it around but alas i fear he's not as young as he was and something eventually stops you from pushing, and thats what the ducati needs. I reckon hes scared of binning it constantly, maybe this is the beginning of the end.

look at this for a run from Stoner Stoner's Jerez test 'mini' race simulation: 1. 1:55.240 2. 1:39.411 3. 1:39.285 4. 1:39.491 5. 1:39.753 6. 1:39.845 7. 1:39.872 8. 1:40.113 9. 1:39.777 10. 1:39.645 11. 1:39.781
No doubt this is very impressive but is he running soft tyres? and an engine map offering full power for all 11 laps. who knows but i will be brave and stick my neck out and say stoner will not be 2012 world champion
