    So all other manufacturers had no wings on the 17 bikes but Ducati takes the variables out with completely different looking wings on the GP16 and GP17 to take the variables out?

    I want him to win, just not while Rossi is there. I would feel bad for Vinales to automatically have 3 million people hate him.

    Then again, it would bring me joy to watch 3 million Uccio heads explode.

    Such conflicting feelings...

    Maybe just recycling the only 2 sets left from last year that 29 didn't wreck.

    Slow down Hoss. Viñales went fastest on Lorenzo's old ride that dominated the race, but couldn't match Lorenzo's pace. Might want to hold off on proclaiming him King.

    Rossi was 10th fastest about 1.1 seconds off the top guys lap times on his debut on Ducati back in 2010...

    They put J-Lo on the winged bike so they could focus on his set up without adding to the complexity of 'no wings'

    Just read on some twitter feed that he did not go out on the GP17 today.

    He went out for one lap right at the end. Presumably to make sure it was all good to go for tomorrow morning.

    I read on mcn that if crutchlow had gone out on the GP17 for one lap he'd have won the '17 championship and been elected queen of england. :D

    Well he is the new Sheen of England, probably Sir Crutchlow as we speak, so Queen is possibly next

    Lorenzo day one on the Duc was only a tenth slower than the fastest guy. That should worry some.

    Both of them had the wings on the GP17 bikes. The camera showed both of them on pit out and they were visually different than on the old bike.

    Either way, my wife thought that only an idiot could watch that stuff for 3 hours on a week day.

    I'm excited that he's going to be a legitimate contender from day 1.

    Since all the rules changes, anyone can be a contender, at least for a race and maybe more.
