Second day of IRTA testing for the MotoGP class riders. This morning in Valencia other new features on the track, including Nicky Hayden on the Honda (only Aoyama had lapped yesterday from Team Aspar) and the Yamaha Open FTR from Team Forward, on the track with Aleix Espargarò.

The new world champion Marc Marquez, Dani Pedrosa and Alvaro Bautista also rode, unlike yesterday, when their bikes remained in the pits. Marquez himself is the fastest at 12.00.

The Spaniard took to the track with both the current bike and the 2014 version. His best time was 1:30.679, a time 352 thousandths better than that set by his team-mate Dani Pedrosa.

Third time for Jorge Lorenzo, 21 thousandths behind the #26 Honda. The Majorcan precedes the Honda RC213V of Alvaro Bautista and Stefan Bradl and the Yamaha M1 of Bradley Smith's Team Tech 3.

Seventh time for Valentino Rossi, who pays 1.241 from Marquez. The Pesaro rider precedes the Ducatis of Andrea Iannone, Cal Crutchlow and Andrea Dovizioso.

Aleix Espargarò's Yamaha FTR Open is eleventh at 2.174. Nicky Hayden on his debut with the RCV1000R is instead in fourteenth position at almost four seconds, but the American must do a total "Reset" as written on his helmet, we expect him later in the following hours.

    What excuse will he make for next year? Will this be the year you decide to blame yourself?

    Casey said he was very happy with Honda production, but it seems to me that he can't get below a second behind the factory teams... Maybe in the race with the concessions it will be better, but I highly doubt it

      But it goes... he obviously fails through no fault of his own but because he is old, because he weighs 1kg more than his rivals, because he is a wild car, because there are worms in his brakes, because the flying disc on the front brake loses pieces, because the thong bothered him, because the wheel is too round, because the saddle is too high, because there is petrol in the tank, because the motorbike is too long, because the saddle is hard, because the motorbike is too blue, because the handlebar has a soft "quick", because the helmet fogs up, because his shoulder hurt, because his little finger had a small scratch, because he lost the second one in his wrist along the way, because they stole the above guide book the problems, because it snowed on the track, because he knows how to win with everything except the Yamaha, because he wins alone, because the others have to improve the setting of his bike, because they made the bike for Lorenzo, because it is Burgess's fault, because the Titanic sank and because the summer is over, but imagine if it is and will be the fault of give me some help to eliminate the Rossi problem and remember that behind Agostini and Hailwood he is the best pilot in history, understood or not?!
      AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

        ...it's probably a finished pilot, but it's still very useful for making an online census of all the failed rogues who comment as soon as his name appears.

        Just as the same goes for all the romantic failures in love who, after all the facts seen, still haven't understood the blessed thing... and who still go after him, hahaha!
