From the second night test shown a few riders suffered a crash such as Casey Stoner and his compatriot Nicky Hayden. The San Carlo Honda Gresini’s Marco Melandri also had a late crash and the last rider’s crash was Spies and Colin Edwards.
Now,from all six days out pre-season test – 4 days in Sepang and 2 last days in Qatar will give us more information to predict how good and how fast each rider with his new bike before they face the real race day in Qatar on April 11th as the first from 18 series. We hope this season will have another competitive race with more rookie and one thing was the new big bang machine from Ducati makes them more slower from ever but this spec was familiar for Nicky Hayden so he can ride good and set the best time not so far from his team mate.
