It might only be free practice, but still a KR211V ahead of every single Honda in the timesheets. :D I really do think they can get some good results this year, it seems like with every step of development they're going a fair bit faster.

Part of me was expecting Rossi to just go all out and be quickest in every session after Jerez, but I guess that's not to be. No doubt he's still a man on a mission atm though - I wouldn't bet against him running away with it from lap one, turn one on Saturday.

Rossi still not really in the thick of things as far as qualifying is concerned! The Yamaha looks like it has a good race pace but nonetheless I'm surprised to see him at the back of the second row.

(And nicely done, Casey!)
