I'm not to surprised about that. As long as they can get a feel for the handling of the bike there is no lack of grunt in the Honda's.

Ben Spies looks very good as well but we expect that of him now.
According to an interview after the second test day Valentino is going to go with the 'Big Bang' engine in the Ducati.
I look forward to hearing that next year at PI!!

Found a nice photo over at No-grip (Though I doubt they've made the photo themselves as the logo on it suggests!) :
