-----------------


Comparing the times set on the final day (http://www.ninjette.org/results/2012/02/02/2012_sepang_1_motogp_test_day_times_ston.html) at Sepang to the final times from both the same day during the 2011 test (http://www.ninjette.org/forums/#test2012vstest2011) and the times set during qualifying (http://www.ninjette.org/forums/#2012vs2011qp) for last year's canceled Malaysian GP once again provides interesting reading. As has been the case almost throughout the test, Cal Crutchlow showed the most improvement over last year, the Monster Tech 3 Yamaha rider now well-adapted to both MotoGP and the new 1000cc bikes. Surprisingly, Casey Stoner showed the second-best improvement, besting the time he set last year by over 1.2 seconds, but given the scorching pace the Repsol Honda man set early on Thursday morning, perhaps it isn't so surprising after all.

Hector Barbera proved that the 2012 Ducati - even the version that the satellite teams have, the bike they rode at Valencia - is a much better machine than the 2011 bike, while Stefan Bradl is clearly a better fit at LCR Honda than Toni Elias. Meanwhile, the actual GP12 is also a clear improvement, Valentino Rossi taking a second off his best time from last year, while the factory Yamahas of Ben Spies and Jorge Lorenzo were just half a second quicker.
