This has been a great week in for Americans in MotoGP. In the last test Hayden finished with the 3rd fastest time followed by Americans Ben Spies and Colin Edwards. This was a big relief for Hayden fans as day one he was down on the testing times almost 2 seconds off the pace. The final testing times below are from MotoGP.com
