This is Commitment

It may only be the first test session of 2012 but from the times it is clear that everyone is still chasing Casey Stoner.

This corner in particular is infamous for capturing riders sliding the rear, as demonstrated by Valentino Rossi, but on his quest for record-breaking laptimes Stoner has carved it to the next level, and is cutting the grass!

Great shots .. have to say I think Stoner has a better set up as looks more stable don't you think ?

I think its evident from their lap times that stoner has a better setup. In fact, from last nights race its clear Rossi is not a top contender yet this season, his team mate Nicky Hayden is now top Ducati, he had a far better race and finished sixth compared to Vale's tenth. Its a ssorry state of affairs for Rossi
