        @R-series: Good start, mate!

        Waiting to see what the Honda production racer is capable of.
        Cal's choppy riding style might keep the monkey busy for the first few days on the Desmo.
        @The Monk: Close the 2012 thread too. Guess, it's still open.

          Apparently Hayden won't be testing today. Honda could not produce and deliver enough bikes. So teammate Aoyama will be testing today. With Hayden riding tomorrow.

          Yamaha might also sit out the monday test. And only test on tuesday

            I haven't read any news of the Yamaha production racer. Is it going to show up for testing today? What will NGM team be using?

            Source? I think I read on twitter than Hayden and Aoyama will be sharing the same bike on day 1.

              Thanks [MENTION=28698]Makky[/MENTION]

              So, CRT class is done for. The new rules now call them "Open Class".

              Regarding ECUs the rules go like this:
              For teams using standard ECU - they get 24 liters of fuel and like what 12 engines?
              For teams using their own ECU - they get 20 liters (look out Yamaha) and 5 engines through out the season.

              The Production Racers from Yamaha and Honda (not talking about Ducati anyway) will all be part of the open class, using standard ECU supplied by Dorna and 24 liters of fuel.

                Nice to see the thread up and a good way to start [MENTION=11424]R-series[/MENTION].

                Would Scot Redding and Bautista be governed by the same Team even though they would be riding different bikes?

                        That "something" is an ANT. Read somewhere that he uses it as a sign of his hard work. Our very own Sarath Kumar too uses it in his race number 69. It is inscribed in it just like MM93's. Guess SK69 is inspired by MM93.

                        Followed 2013 season thread all way long..felt like taking part in the circus from now on

                          Thanks for bringing that up man, I honestly was not aware. Although I should be cos he's from India. That's news to me that he uses number 69

                            Yes it'll be the same team setup like in 2013 between Staring and Bautista.

                            But I want Scott to get a prototype to show his potential. I personally don't think pol is better than Scott.
