Some times from 1st day of testing with the new bikes.

Was looking at the Aprilia and BM-W times in particular, and they look nae too bad for pace so far.

1. Michel Fabrizio (Ducati) 1m 41.204
2. Ben Spies (Yamaha) 1m 41.599
3. Max (Billy-Ray) Neukirchner (Suzuki) 1m 41.713
4. Noriyuki Haga (Ducati) 1m 41.730
5. Yukio Kagayama (Suzuki) 1m 41.755
6. Shinya Nakano (Aprilia) 1m 41.846
7. Max (Billy-Ray) Biaggi (Aprilia) 1m 42.446
8. Ryuichi Kiyonari (Honda) 1m 42.744
9. Troy Corser (Big Mans Wanger) 1m 42.975
10. Ruben Xaus (Big Mans Wanger) 1m 43.274
11. Carlos Checa (Honda) 1m 43.418
12. Jonathan Rea (Honda) 1m 44.496
13. Tom Sykes (Yamaha) 1m 46.780

I think this could finally be Nitro Nori's year.

Would agree, he should be the favorite.

But i think Ben Spies will do well on the R1, even though he will need to learn 90% of the tracks.
