A lot of question marks...
Jorge is really fast and it's good to see but what about his Pace ? I didn't see any race simulation from Dovi or Jorge during the 2 days or did I miss something ?
Zarco is slow despite the fact he is back on the 2016 bike today. His best lap times is 5 tenth behind Dani whereas he was similarly fast during race WE last year. His race simulation is in low 01' while Marquez ran a long strings of mid 00' when the heat was at its maximum. I'm waiting what David and other insiders have to say about that.
What the F... did Maverick work on today ? He did a lot of laps during all the test and he is fast. No doubt but I'd like to know what he worked on today. :)
Miller & Crutchlow consistently fast in all conditions. Very promising :)

Dont read too much into these times
Dovi Monday Interview
Dovi said yesterday that a race simulation isn't necessary on the Tuesday -
http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/889201/1/dovizioso-surprised-even-bette...
Such is Ducati’s level at Sepang, Dovizioso feels a race simulation is not necessary on Tuesday. “In the first test it’s not so important to have the 20 laps on your body and it’s too early,” he said.
“You stop more than two months and that is not the key. About 20 laps, the consumption, the condition – our situation, this track is already good from 2017 so this is not one of the most important things to fix.”
Wait...
Where's Pol?
