There's an old saying in racing: "When the flag drops, the production of bovine fecal matter stops." Though the phrase "production of bovine fecal matter" is usually replaced by something a good deal more succinct, colorful, and likely to get blocked by some internet filters. So once the bikes rolled out onto the track for a full day of timed practice, the bellow of MotoGP bikes finally silenced the complaining that had been going on on all sides since the bikes were rolled back into the trucks on Monday night after Estoril.
There's certainly no place to hide from the Hondas at Le Mans. HRC came to what has traditionally been regarded as a Yamaha track and has wiped the floor with the opposition. On Friday morning, the four factory Hondas (three Repsols and one San Carlo Gresini) took the top four slots on the timesheets, the nearest non-Honda (the factory Yamaha of Jorge Lorenzo) over a second behind fastest man Casey Stoner. In the afternoon, Marlboro Ducati's Nicky Hayden helped disrupt the party, snagging 4th ahead of Lorenzo, demoting Repsol Honda's Andrea Dovizioso down to 6th. The Ducati and the Yamaha even closed the gap on the top Honda, from over a second to just under nine-tenths of a second.
