After the disappointment of Sunday's Czech Grand Prix, it
was back to the drawing board yesterday for Valentino Rossi
and Colin Edwards as they embarked on the traditional
two-day test at Brno, alongside almost the entire MotoGP
paddock. The sun shone until mid-afternoon when it clouded
over, eventually giving way to rain at about 4.30 pm.
The main focus of the test for both
riders is tyre testing with Michelin and they worked through
a variety of new material yesterday as they seek to find a
better package for the remaining six races, following recent
issues. Rossi also got the chance to complete some laps with
a new-specification engine, with which he will continue
working today.

(Position: 6th;
Time: 1'58.81;
Laps: 51)
"Michelin brought a lot of
new stuff for us to try here today and I think, in total, I
tried about four fronts and maybe five rears before the rain
came. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like we've found a
miracle yet! We're in a difficult situation but I am
determined to give 110% to help Michelin get back to where
they should be. I tried a new shock for Ohlins as well and
some starting maps and electronics and everything else seems
to be feeling pretty good.
