041 Valentino Rossi, took to the track just before midday and got off with a crash after four laps when his bike lost grip at turn 2 on the new asphalt, luckily this did cause any further problems to his foot and finger that he injured two days before in a bizarre home accident.
James Toseland crashed out at turn 5 while test rider Yoshikawa also crashed at the same turn as Rossi.
