Business as usual, it seems though I don't think yet Rossi would be any faster than he was on the Michelins, though single lap performance wasn't the problem this year.

Pleased to see JT isn't rock bottom for once. :)

Final day:

Pos Rider Bike Time
1. Dani Pedrosa Honda (M) 1:38.562
2. Nicky Hayden Honda (M) 1:38.848
3. Jorge Lorenzo Yamaha (M) 1:39.464
4. Andrea Dovizioso Honda (M) 1:39.747
5. Shinya Nakano Honda (B) 1:40.121
6. Colin Edwards Yamaha (M) 1:40.184
7. Alex de Angelis Honda (B) 1:40.185
8. James Toseland Yamaha (M) 1:40.213
9. Randy de Puniet Honda (M) 1:40.398
10. John Hopkins Kawasaki (B) 1:40.984
11. Valentino Rossi Yamaha (B) 1:41.538
12. Marco Melandri Ducati (B) 1:41.619
13. Taddy Okada Honda (M) 1:41.715
14. Niccolo Canepa Ducati (B) 1:41.793
15. Anthony West Kawasaki (B) 1:42.343
16. Vittoriano Guareschi Ducati (B) 1:42.850
17. Shinichi Ito Ducati (B) 1:43.001

Rossi left early due to his hand injury (from Valencia) playing up. The 2008 Honda is looking very good. Other than that Marco Melandri isn't quite clicking with the Ducati yet, but there's time.

Unsurprisingly Randy de Puniet crashed twice to give his team a taste of what to expect.

JT is starting to adapt well to MotoGP judging by these times

Impressed with Hayden after what was a disappointing season last year

I think I read on crash.net that the Honda ran their 2007 bike for tyre evaluation purposes on the last day.

Didn't know that, but the article does say that the 08 Honda is lacking in power compared to the factory 07 bike. So clearly the 08 machine could be very good when they get that sorted..
