THE MOTO2 boys were out on track today, in dry conditions at Catalunya, Spain.
Shoya Tomizawa posted the fastest time with a 1:49.4, 0.2 secs quicker than second-fastest man Jules Cluzel.
The day wasn't without its share of drama: Roby Rolfo was the only rider to injure himself, suffering a dislocated shoulder, while other fallers included: Mike di Meglio, Thomas Luthi, Vincent Lonbois, Alex Debon and Fonsi Nieto.
Former MotoGP men Toni Elias, Alex de Angelis and Niccolo Canepa were not present at Catalunya; the MotoGP refugees are waiting until the Valencia test for the official Honda Moto2 engine.
