Valentino Rossi Sets The Pace At 1st Day of MotoGP Testing

Nine time MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi sets the pace for day one of the MotoGP preseason testing at the Sepang International Circuit clocking 2:01.411 on lap fifteen of 54 laps today.

He was on the fast lane from the moment he went on the tarmac, looking very at home on the 5.543km long circuit where he clinched his 9th world championship title last year.

Rossi was riding the 2010 MotoGP YZR-R1 race bike which he unveiled earlier in the day with its complete livery along with his team mate Jorge Lorenzo.

Lorenzo on the other hand only managed to set as fifth fastest rider of the day behind Casey Stoner, Colin Edwards and Loris Capirossi respectively. Testing finishes at 5pm and continues on Friday. Below are the full test results and lap times.
