MotoGP stars will face a whole new track at the weekend, the AirAsia British Grand Prix in Silverstone where the photo shows how impressive it is. It is considered one of the fastest tracks on the planet and we are anxiously waiting for the finals to be written on the motorcycles.
In the data so far, the usual suspect Lorenzo (Fiat Yamaha), is the fastest with a time of 2'05.991, you can see the raindrops that started falling slowed him down. Casey Stoner followed with the Ducati Marlboro completing 18 laps with the Desmosedici GP10, 0.142s apart. Third came Andrea Dovizioso with the Repsol Honda 4 tenths of a second later. This is a surprise as everyone argues that Dani Pedrosa's teammate motor is better. This of course is not even an indication as the winner of the previous race in Mugello always avoids good placements until the official timed .. The Frenchman Randy de Puniet (LCR Honda) who from the beginning of the test set the bar high managed to close the quartet , with only a tenth difference ..
Fifth is Ben Spies (Monster Yamaha Tech 3), who hopes to take a good place in the top six as his best lap was 1.259s behind Lorenzo. Dani Pedrosa came out with some small problems in adjusting the new suspension for Ohlins for the Repsol Honda, while he was once again impressed by the difference in his engine, compared to that of Andrea Dovizioso. Marco Melandri (San Carlo Honda Gresini Team), Aleix Espargaró (Pramac Racing), Marco Simoncelli (San Carlo Honda Gresini Team) and Nicky Hayden (Ducati Marlboro) closed the top ten.
By tomorrow at noon, our predictions steadily favor Spaniard Jorge Lorenzo (Fiat Yamaha) and Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda) second. Casey Stoner (Ducati Marlboro), Andrea Dovizioso (Repsol Honda) and Nicky Hayden (Ducati Marlboro) are making big profits and should not be underestimated.
