Alex DeAngelis had a problem already yesterday, something with a butterfly valve (or valves), according to source.

 

And this is the second time the Moto2's are testing together with the 125's (on track at the same time... and yes, in the first test there was an incident between a Moto2 rider and a 125 rider on the track, just don't ask me who).

My source is reporting that some Moto2 teams are already having money problems. Team Scott (DeAngelis, Cannepa) got their engines late, cause they paid late (or have yet to pay, wasn't clear which). Team MZ is there (Ant West), but they are only a "reserve" team at the moment.

 

Oh, and the Moto2 motors are distributed by a random drawing (think bingo)... so there can be (theoretically) no cheating.

 

Just for fun, this is the face of the "veteran" 125 leader who was fastest yesterday:
