Jerez testing...

Going to be funny when Bautista gains 5 kilos of muscle and beats everyone with no ballast.

 

No.. still there...

Try the guy's FB page. It's a few post down... (3rd post from the time I write this)

Well technically he’s got a good guy in the Duc SBK family now in Iannone with the hookup on gear. I don’t believe however that Bautista is gonna walk everyone this year.

 

If I remember correctly, the new rules stipulates a minimum combined rider/bike weight to measured immediately post race? When you first posted this, I immediately had this funny thought come to mind of riders doing the opposite of MMA fighters, wrestlers, boxers, etc. where they pound a bunch of little debbies and gatorade before weigh in lol.

 

Well I'm guessing Alvaro might be sweating a little today - more so because of the pace of his new teammate than having to add 13lbs of ballast to his bike.

 

he could be still working back into fitness after his injury.

he could also be testing setups.

word is #11 ran that time on Q tires.

 

Papa’s boy Oettl was doing the deed today. :up:

 

Agreed on all counts, just thinking that anytime your new rookie teammate goes out in the first full test and crushes the outright lap record - that’s cause for concern.

 

Bautista's injury from the last WSBK round really seems to be lingering. He seemed pretty dejected and almost wincing in pain during his interview yesterday.

 

From the times posted in the beginning of the thread, look how much lower his trap speed is compared to everyone else.

 

Jeez, I've not seen a rookie make the kind of impression during winter testing that Bulega is this week.

 

Toprak said the BMW was a pain in the a$$. Literally! Ha ha, hard to not like that guy.

 

Is bradl on a motogp bike?

 

Did you look at the times? It calls out what they’re riding.

it clearly indicates he’s on a MA bagger.

 

That POS Honda can't even top the time sheets against street bikes. MM is gonna stomp a hole in the MotoGP fields hearts this year.

I'd go more with the rider then the bike.

 

L0ok where the test riders for BMW are. Former GP guys on the same times as the top ssp riders. We talkin bout practice! Also, Bradl is good but not top level talent like the factory riders.
