Given that last year VR was 1.8 seconds off the pace last year at this time, I think that the fact this bike is 0.6 quicker out of the box is a marked improvement. Casey's just trying to stamp his authority early doors, we all know he's blisteringly fast. He's just making sure we all know it. Without a doubt there's more to come from the Honda, and the Yamaha's, and the Ducati's.
I'm not making excuses, trust me, if the GP12 was shite, I'd be the first one to be harping on about it. But, the fact that it's been thrown together in essentially 4 months, and is 0.6 quicker, and the riders are saying it's a marked improvement on last year can only (IMO) be taken to be a real positive test for Ducati this time around.
