The RC213V of the Repsol Honda Team rider was the only bike to go under the two minute mark in the opening Malaysian test.
Reigning MotoGP World Champion, Casey Stoner, returns to Sepang this week –the circuit at which he was the fastest rider in the opening test of the year and at which he continued to head the timesheets today. In the accompanying video, an onboard camera placed on the Repsol Honda Team rider’s bike allows us to experience Stoner’s speedy laps in the first person.
The 5.548 metre-long Sepang circuit in Malaysia is once again the scene of official testing this week, and Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa are fine-tuning their bikes on one of the longest tracks on the calendar. Five left hand corners and ten right handers are mixed in with long straights (the home straight measures 920m) to provide an ideal layout for overtaking and high top speeds.
26 days ago it was Stoner who was the only rider to break the two minute barrier in the Sepang test. His time of 1’59.607 was the quickest lap of his two days on track. From today through Thursday, he and his Pedrosa will be undertaking further work on their bikes, and on day one the duo have shown that they are once again on great form.
