2009-02-08 Stoner edges Rossi in final day of Sepang test
 Be first to comment this story
 Casey Stoner finished Sepang test in top spot, edging Valentino Rossi for just 0.094 seconds, showing once again the duo will once again fight for championship top spot in 2009. Strong third place on last day and top performance during the test was shown by Loris Capirossi, who once again demonstrated that improved machinery was everything he needs to show speed that he has. Hopefully, returning Gibernau who was not so impressive in 12th place, this time will not be the one to end Capirossi's resurrection.
Colin Edwards was also quick during the test, as we used from him, ending day three in 4th place. Honda returnee Toni Elias was constantly around 5th place in Sepang, obviously more suited to Honda than Ducati. Chris Vermeulen ended test in front of Jorge Lorenzo, while Andrea Dovizioso was the last rider inside lap record in Sepang. Mika Kallio was 9th, while Nicky Hayden continued adaptation to Ducati Desmosedici which proved to be quite demanding.
