The Yamaha team director Lin Jarvis has made the situation after the first two days of testing at Sepang. 's house Iwata has placed as many as 3 of his drivers in the top 5 positions , and it is reasonable to expect that Andrea Dovizioso, the ninth time with a Shoulder convalescent, will soon return to fight for top positions.
"We started well - Jarvis said - We are just starting but I'm pretty optimistic. Lorenzo and Spies have long been high on the list of the times, and I think we will be more competitive this year " .
In a championship as long as the MotoGP, it is essential for a driver to maintain a proper physical condition. "I am very happy that our drivers are well - he said - Jorge had lost their last 3 games of last season, but now his finger is in good condition. Even Ben is in great shape, I've never seen so 'on the ball' physically and mentally at the start of the season. Last year he closed well, finishing second by a whisker in Valencia, and seems to have picked up where he had finished " .
A witness to the improvements of the M1, the surprise Cal Crutchlow in fourth place. "Cal's style suits in 1000, and he managed to do a very good time. Dovizioso is still recovering from injury but the shoulder, but only needs a little 'more time' .
These first tests still leave much hope for Jarvis. "I think it will be an interesting year. We are in shape, but also the competition is strong. Stoner and Pedrosa are always among the first, but the Ducati seems to have made significant progress during the break the winter. Yesterday Valentino was back to look like what it once was . If all 3 houses will be competitive, will be an exciting year " .
