Yes, faster by almost 4 seconds. While Bautista was almost 4 seconds quicker than Dovi.

Don´t know how much this kind of laptimes are worth.

Zero. Conditions were changing all the time, track was mostly wet, then it spat with rain, and rained a little more heavily in the afternoon. Can't take anything from those times.

Brad Smith, 1:35.775, Andrea Iannone, 1:35.6, Marq Marquez, 1:35.2.

Compare them to Johnny Rea who struggled mightily to get into that territory.

That bike is as good looking as the Duc is ugly.

I hope Yamaha runs an ad of Vale kissing the Yamaha as a welcome back, like the picture of him kissing the bike goodbye.

Just watched short video of MM's first Moto GP ride. He looked incredibly comfortable. Any word on Yamaha lap times at Aragon?

Things got interesting at the end of the day as the track dried and there was about an hour and a half that all were out on slicks.

Last thing I saw was that they were rained out after lunch. Rossi did 9 laps, Lorenzo 0. I think they were running the WSBK config, too, so lap times would not be relevant, unless you are interested in whether Rossi was faster than or close to Lorenzo.
