Jorge Lorenzo was the fastest rider in Monday's day of testing. The day ended early though as heavy rain came down in the afternoon. At Brno Casey Stoner ended second, with Honda rider Dani Pedrosa in third.
With little changes in the timesheet since the midday break at 1pm the only riders to improve their lap times in the afternoon session were Ben Spies and Marco Simoncelli. That meant that Jorge Lorenzo, Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa remained the top three, with the Repsol Honda man having set his fastest time on a test bike this morning.
Lorenzo concentrated on a new 2011 prototype M1 in the afternoon and completed seven laps on it, whilst Stoner only took in four more turns of the Brno track as he continued looking at new front forks on the Desmosedici GP10. Pedrosa reverted back to his current season RC212V and lapped six more times.
Rossi and Colin Edwards both continued working on their current M1 machines, whilst Spies took 0.178s off his morning lap time as he made progress on the 2011 prototype Yamaha.
Simoncelli made a marginal improvement of just under seven-hundredths on his RC212V, both he and team-mate Marco Melandri working on electronics and braking improvements. Héctor Barberá tested a new carbon swingarm on his Ducati, whilst Mika Kallio looked at geometry settings on his with team-mate Aleix Espargaró using the test to gain an improved level of comfort on his GP10.
Bridgestone also rolled out a new front tyre spec for next season which was tested by the majority of the riders present. The only absentee from the test was Randy de Puniet who opted to rest after his return to racing yesterday following his broken leg. Álvaro Bautista made 24 laps on his GSV-R, the fewest of the day as he continued to recover from the practice crash he suffered on Saturday.
