Nicky on the GP09

mbccohen replied on Mon, 2008-10-27 14:26

I am really happy to see that Nicky is putting in the maximum number of laps on the new bike. He needs seat time. His lap times might not be equal to Stoner right now, but I can excuse that. He approach reminds me of Ben Spies putting in the maxmium number of laps possible on the Suzuki during the Indy test days. Both riders are showing a dedication to doing the maximum amount of work needed to get themselves in top form.

Interesting...

Rusty Bucket USA replied on Mon, 2008-10-27 14:42

...that Melandri is already as fast (at 2pm) on the Kawasaki as he was yesterday on the Ducati he rode all year, and as fast as Hopkins was yesterday on the same ride he had all year. The flip-side of that is, that's where Nicky is, too.

Apparently these "new" tires somewhat agree with the outgoing Kawasakis and Suzukis.

And, at this early stage, it looks like Dovizioso has the most adjusting to do to the new hoops.

So they are on the spec

So they are on the spec tires now, yes?
