Former 2006 MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden (Honda) was the quickest driver of the day in both Friday's testing sessions for the upcoming Grand Prix of Valencia.
The American who was the fastest in the morning under harsh conditions was fastest again on the damp and tricky Spanish track in the afternoon. His Repsol Honda teammate Dani Pedrosa was second fastest while Fiat Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo was third fastest. Current champion Valentino Rossi went fourth fastest even tough he fell hard 2/3 of the way into the practice. Another champion, Casey Stoner, suffered a high side in the morning but managed to finish in the top 5 at the end of the day. Morning session Pos Rider Bike Time 1. Nicky Hayden Honda (M) 1:47.694 2.
