Valentino Rossi went fastest in both of today's rain-soaked free practice sessions in Shanghai. The world champ notched up a defiant race win in China last year in similar weather conditions and has been hugely fast in the rain ever since. The weather forecast says that more rain is expected tomorrow and Sunday doesn't look too hot, either.
Second fastest was the pocket rocket Loris Capirossi on the Desmosedici and John Hopkins was an impressive third fastest on his GSV-R. Shanghai Free Practice 2 Results1) Valentino Rossi Camel Yamaha Team 2'09.393
