Shot of the Day – Marco Simoncelli
2008 250cc class champion signed with Gresini for the premier class. The 22-year old was reportedly impressed by MotoGP power. However, at Sepang test few weeks ago, Marco is still uncomfortable with the machine.
Based on the lap times, I have reasons to believe that jumping from another class to MotoGP is a huge jump. Most of the rookies were struggling with the bikes as we can observe in the previous tests. It seems that MotoGP bikes are not as easy to ride as some critics suggested.
Worse, Simoncelli does not have much 4-stroke experience before. Whatever it is, Marco is the most hyped rookie of the seasons. Well, one wonder if a wild card ride at the World Superbike seems to have made quite an impact among media and fans worldwide.
