          For those like me who didn't know that the Off Season MotoGP show was on YouTube as well. A very interesting build up of Stefan Bradl's Aprilia from 'almost' scratch. If you wanted to see these MotoGP bikes naked and stripped

            Rossi was in Indonesia recently.

            And WSBK has started testing in Jerez. New separate thread i will make for WSBK, hopefully this year will be more interesting with Hayden showing considerable promise on the old Honda!

                    With the common software around which presumably would require more skills from riders due to reduced assistance do we have a chance of Casey returning full time by next year?

                      Nope. Unlikely. He doesn't feel the electronics have been dumbed down enough!

                        Lorenzo fastest by over a second at the end of the first day of testing at Sepang. All the Ducatis are fast. Honda seems to be struggling (?)

                        Love Iannone's helmet design, good sense of humour!

                          Loris Baz' crash. I think, it was at 290km/hr.

                                And Stoner is back 3rd day of testing and he has already moved to 2nd just 0.214 secs behind Lorenzo and lot quicker than Day 2. Contrary to what has been stated earlier, I feel Stoner might race this season and not just few wild cards.

                                Ducati had the bike that could compete with Honda and Yamaha in the form of GP15. Not all the bikes are perfect on the grid. Ducati just needed someone like Stoner to put the bike on the podium lot more.

                                Also, contracts are open for 2017 and who better than Stoner to market their bike and try and get either Dani or Lorenzo on board. That looks like an elaborate plan by Ducati.
