I didn't see any of the Jerez test except for a broadly smiling Stoner posing in front of a 3 series BMW holding a key with M sport logo on it.

The still from the start of that JT video send shivers...

Hope he's not too badly hurt.

Only concussion apparently.

Maybe it will transform him into a MotoGP champion.

His feud with Edwards has really affected him I think. More of the same from last year, trying too hard and losing the smoothness required to ride a MotoGP bike.
Stoner was awesome. He looked like he could have gone faster. It could be a one horse race this year, even Valentino will have problems matching his pace.

Eurosport will be covering MotoGP despite earlier stories they were going to lose it. AFAIK, it'll still be Randy, Toby and Julian ...

It was Toby and James Haydon today. I hope that was just for today and that it will be the original threesome.

No Randy, as there is to be no live coverage unless the BBC don't show it live. Julian Ryder will only be doing selected dates as he lined up other work as he thought he'd be jobless Clicky. Hayden will fill in for him as required.

As for Stoner being quick, I recall that last year was the same, everyone thought that Rossi would be no where and that Stoner would be Champion by the British GP, didn't work out taht way though. I think Rossi will still be the dominant force this year, quickest bike on not. Can't wait, bring it on
