Casey Stoner set fastest time of the three day Jerez test. The Honda rider posted a 1:38.780 lap to beat Yamaha s Jorge Lorenzo by 0.173 of a second. Stoner s Honda team mate Dani Pedrosa was third while Lorenzo s Yamaha team mate Ben Spies was fourth in a pattern which has been repeated in testing. Cal Crutchlow s Tech 3 Yamaha was fifth and Ducati s Valentino Rossi, multiple world champion, was sixth - much his best position of the test. The preseason testing featured 22 bikes in all, including Claiming Rules Teams models (CRT). These bikes are allowed concessions by the organisers to allow independent teams to run on a lower budget. It is hoped the budget option should boost the number of riders in MotoGP from the regular 16 who rode in 2011.
