MotoGP testing at Valencia is proceeding and so far we have only photos of Valentino Rossi on the Ducati, but we expect to receive other pics later in the day.

Here are the test times at 15:38 pm and before anyone starts making assumptions even before the official season starts, keep in mind that we have no idea what each rider is testing every time he goes out for lap, whether be it new engines, chassis, suspensions or electronics.

Valentino Rossi final took to the Valencia track at 12:20 pm onboard the Ducati Desmosedici for the very first time and his first timed lap was 1.44.773.

His first run with the new machine was under twelve laps, the best of which was a 1.37.329 and now is back on track for a new run after talking with his staff, but Randy de Puniet who is also on the Ducati for the first time is almost a second faster.

More news later on.
