[gsxcorey]

waht is maladin's fastest time?

[Johny2Wheels]

Val!! I am right if i say that Troy Bayliss has the record out there, in 1'23 something??? He did that on a Ducati with some stickier tires than they have today in AMA. Is that right????

[valerossi]

No... I saw this in another article for US GP...
