Alex Barros will start the Australian GP from the fourth row of the grid tomorrow, despite having showed over two days of practice he is capable of being much closer to the front in the race. Chris Vermeulen has impressed the team with how quickly he is picking up confidence with the machine and the tyres. The young Australian made huge strides forward in the four hours of practice, lowering his times by a second in every session and cut his gap to the top rider by half a second compared to yesterday. |

The first day of practice at Phillip Island went well for both the Camel Honda riders today. Alex Barros seems to be back on good terms with the front end of his bike and was second quickest in the morning and fifth overall on the day after focusing hard on set-up. Debutant Chris Vermeulen, in his first outing on the MotoGP Honda machine, made light work of the tricky mixed track conditions after light morning rain hit the first half hour of practice, slotting into the top ten after a few laps on board the bike. The young Australian has hit if off straight away with his team, and without a single mistake managed to consistently improve his pace throughout the two sessions, setting respectable times as he made his first adjustments to the RC211V.

Gauloises Yamaha Team rider Valentino Rossi continued his love affair with Phillip Island on the opening day of the Australian Grand Prix as he dominated today's first free practice sessions in warm spring temperatures and bright sunshine. The MotoGP World Champion was quickly inside the pace he set on his way to victory here last season, dipping well under the circuit record with a time of 1'30.349 to comfortably hold off the attentions of Carlos Checa (Ducati) after a series of quick laps at the end of the afternoon session. Checa produced a late effort of his own to reduce the gap to 0.270 seconds, with Nicky Hayden (Honda) and Sete Gibernau (Honda) the only other riders able to lap within a second of the Italian. |
