"Nicky Hayden: "I was enjoying things this morning - the bike felt strong and it was good to get out with all the riders again. I was real relaxed and things felt good. Then I started to get cold and saw drops on my visor and that was it for the day really! Can't believe how fast we're going! 210mph; crazy! We spent some time in the wind tunnel in Japan after the last test in Sepang and I guess we learnt something. I was working a lot on my tuck. I'm sure hoping that the weather improves, as we don't learn too much when it's like this. Still, not a bad day; I've never been round this circuit as fast as today and we've still got two days!"

Whew now thats fast :!: :sprint:

whats more impressive is Capirossi's clocked 215.9 on the Duck GP4, fastest ever clocked motoGP speed :) (im sure the 40kmph tail winds helped but hey, fast is fast :)
