And again your times conflict with the MotoGP site :lol:

Rossi is over 1.2 seconds adrift and he mentioned he'd be happy if he was under 1 second off the pace.
Clearly, the Ducati is not on the pace

He says its quick enough he just cant get the power down coming out of the corners......I know how he feels.....I have the same issue with my Triumph...!!
