I seem to remember that in the last couple of years Rossi has been fairly quick in the pre-season tests, then they turn up at Qatar and Stoner blasts the lot of them. I don't think you can ever read too much into the testing times, the first few rounds normally chuck up a few surprises - can't wait!
And yeah Iam I noticed Rossi's comments too - already at work with the mind games, I guess?
