Last week marked the end of yet another era in Moto GP as the paddock headed to Jerez for their first test at the Spanish circuit with the single make tyre rule in place.
It has already had praise from Valentino Rossi, which can't be a bad thing and if it means closer racing as a result then bring it on! I just hope that everyone adapts to the tyres as well as Rossi otherwise there will be an even bigger gulf in the field and the whole concept would be a waste of time for 2009.
I'd like to think that it won't be a problem seen as how Dani Pedrosa adapted so well with his mid-season switch from Michelin tyres to Bridgestone last season but it is too early to tell. Andrea Dovizioso certainly got a chance to see what the Repsol Honda can do with the new Bridgestone tyres at Jerez by his team-mate, but I cant see it being long before the Italian gets to grips with them and starts giving Pedrosa a hard time.
The Jerez test concludes 2008 so now we all have to wait for February to get our next dose of what we can expect next season. Roll on Spring!
