250 börjar likna "The golden years" igen. Vi kanske inte riktigt har någon ny Biaggi,Capirex,Waldmann eller Harada men bra jävla nära.
Nu har det börjat, och Biaggi verkar vara snabb. hur snabb får vi la se när tiderna släpps.
Från MCN:
The opening day of one of the key MotoGP tests of the year has just finished in Sepang, Malaysia, with nearly all the teams out on the track.
The session has just ended so no official times have been released yet, but early indications show that Max Biaggi was the fastest rider on the track.

Första rapporten, preliminära tider.
Today (Wednesday) marked the first day of February testing at a hot and humid Sepang, and gave new Yamaha rider Valentino Rossi his first opportunity to go head-to-head with former employer's Honda.
The test marked Rossi's fourth day as a Yamaha rider - and the reigning world champion would match all but RCV pace setter Max Biaggi, as he spent time testing a different engine specification and working on chassis and suspension set-up.
"It's so hot here!" gasped Rossi, who was 0.4secs behind Biaggi but within a tenth of Edwards and Gibernau. "All is quite good but, for sure, we have plenty of work still to do.
"It has been interesting to get a direct comparison on track with the Hondas and I spent some time out there with Colin Edwards and Max Biaggi. The main points we need to work on are engine characteristics and the front feeling," he revealed.
"We had an important day today and did many things, mostly on the engine side, and made some good progress. But we are just taking things slowly and not looking at the full limits at this stage. Tomorrow we'll try another engine spec and some different settings and new tyres," Valentino concluded.
Rossi's best lap time was some 0.35secs slower than that set at his first M1 test, but crew chief Jerry Burgess didn't feel that was anything to worry about just yet.
"We're going a bit slower today, but we were trying two different engine specs and we've had a few teething problems with the settings," he said. "We knew this would be the case. We made a lot of progress very quickly in our first test and it's inevitably going to be a little slower now. We're very positive about tyres and suspension and I think we've got enough time to build and improve on other elements before the start of the season."
Meanwhile, Gauloises Fortuna team-mate Carlos Checa (lower pic) concentrated on suspension settings and also some engine changes on his way to a best lap of 2min 4.5secs – considerably slower than Rossi.
"It's been difficult to improve on the lap time I did last time here but I'm not really focused on that. I'm just trying to find a better feeling and reduce the limitations I've got with this current set-up," stated the Spaniard. "I've been using the same tyres from Michelin that we had last time but I've got some new ones to test tomorrow. We've made a few small engine changes today as well that I've had to dial-in."
In the Tech 3 squad, Marco Melandri worked on the electronic systems and fuel injection of his M1 while Norick Abe spent the day fine-tuning his rear suspension – but both were over 2secs slower than the #46.
"Today was quite hard work with the heat and jet lag. Physically my shoulder is getting much better but it still gives me some stabbing pains and it's hard to get right down," said Melandri after his 56 laps. "We lost a bit of time with settings this morning but were back on track this afternoon and I spent time working with Magneti Marelli on our electronics. We found some real improvement in my last four runs. The handling felt good and the power delivery was good. I'm looking forward to continuing the work tomorrow."
"I haven't had a great day," admitted Abe. "I just concentrated on rear suspension and I really thought I had found something good at the end of the session so I'm disappointed with my lap time. Hopefully we can sort things out tomorrow."
Testing concludes on Friday.

Vad göööör du Mattias? Du ser aningen självmordsbenägen ut på din avatar. ÄR det linserna som trilskas nu igen. Du råkade ta pistolen istället för hårtorken, eller?
Och ja, 250-fältet blir roligare när man börjar känna igen en del namn. Förresten har ni märkt att just 250-fältet har ovanligt många förare med könsneutrala namn? Randy, Toni, Max och Alex. Förvisso är de flesta förkortningar, men ändå.

En dikt jag fick i dag, passar till Mattias lätt morbida avatar...
Enkel är födelsen:
Du blir du
Enkel döden:
Du är inte mera du
Det kunde ha varit omvänt
som i en spegelvärld:
Döden kunde ha fött dig
och Livet släckt ut dig
det ena såväl som det andra -
Och kanske är det så:
Ur Död är du kommen, långsamt
utplånar dig Livet.
Sen har jag inte ägnat en tanke åt könsneutrala namn men däremot noterat att Taro kör med Freddes nummer #44! Kan det vara en tillfällighet eller en gest? Ingen som vet...
