Stoner, Honda, Dominate Catalunya Test

Repsol Honda's Casey Stoner has been dominating the MotoGP season
thus far, and if Friday's test was any indication, it looks like
that trend will continue this weekend in Catalunya.
Stoner was once again the fastest in testing, and Honda continued
its dominance of MotoGP with the top three times. At this point, it
appears as if Honda is simply the fastest bike on the track right
now, and the other manufacturers will have to make some tweaks
before the Honda team runs away with the competition.
Track conditions were affected by light rain, which caused teams to
shift between wet and dry motorcycle tires.
Despite this, Stoner had the fastest time in both sessions, trailed
closely by San Carlo Honda rider Marco Simoncelli. Stoner's Repsol
teammate, Andrea Dovizioso, was in third, while Jorge Lorenzo was
the fastest non-Honda rider on the track.
"We're quite happy with the day, unfortunately we didn't get a lot
of good wet or dry track time so a lot of time was wasted in
changeable conditions and not achieving much," Stoner said in a
team release. "However, in general we got a pretty good feeling
with the bike and everything seems to be working well. "
Stoner also said that a physical condition could potentially hinder
him during the race.
"I've got blocked sinuses, which doesn't help when I'm trying to
concentrate and my ears are popping but I'm trying to put this to
one side and concentrate on the job at hand," he revealed.
