Sepang test today
Fabio, morbidelli, rins, cal, miller, vinales, King 10th, 93 12th, Binder 21st.
D ped was half a second faster than BB. He has work to do.
Early days and shake downs. Fabio fastest on '19 bike is interesting, wonder how he will like the '20 version? Yamaha have new engines as does Aprilia - completely new V4 90' and new chassis.
Indeed early days. Like anyone else, I enjoy following the testing, but also find it hugely frustrating as we are not close enough to the teams to know what they are actually testing. That said, halfway through testing today:
GP Riders: Jackass, Mir, Franky, Maverick, Rins, Pol, MM93, VR46, Fabio, Aleix.
Rookies: AM73 (16th), BB33 (17), Lecuona (22).
Test riders: Dani (18th), Guintoli (20), Yamaha Test 3 (24), Yamaha Test 1 (25) , Smith (26)
Brad is now 1.1s of the fastest. Some interesting comparative times:
Best Lap: Fabio 1,58,576 - 2019
Best race lap: VR46 1,59,661 - 2019
Unofficial lap record: Petrux 1,58,239 - 2019 during testing
Fastest during shakedown tests: Pol 1,59,444 - 2020
Jack Miller today: 1,58,641
MAN..OH..MAN.. Fabio was showing his worth last season and could be a contender 2020.
But my heart will be Bad Brad, knowing he might only be finding his feet.
I so hope Fabio does feature on the podium and even become a serious championship contender. I liked him since day 1, but he disappointed me in Moto3 and Moto2. He had better get his act together, or I will be forced to loudly and viciously swear at my TV screen!

For Bradical I am hoping two things. Making points and beating the satellite KTMs.
