The Repsol Honda riders give colour to the test
With temperatures above 30ºC and a humidity of almost 90%, the riders of the Repsol Honda Team started today, at the Malaysian circuit of Sepang, the first of three planned test days, which are part of the intense 2006 preseason.
After the tests carried out in the same venue in late January and the following tests in Australia`s Phillip Island just one week ago, the MotoGP riders are back into action today in Malaysia under suffocating weather conditions.
Today the Repsol Honda Team riders gave colour to the test, appearing early in the morning with the definitive 2006 decoration on their bikes. Pedrosa, in addition to debuting on his bike, also had his premiere with his new suit, the same he is going to use during the 2006 season wearing the Repsol colours.

"Today we used for the first time the decoration and colour on our bikes; I was really looking forward to it," Dani Pedrosa said. "There are still some finishing touches left but everything will be ready for the start of the season, so I`m happy."

In addition to the new outfit and colours, Dani Pedrosa played also a leading role being one of the fastest on the Malaysian circuit, setting the second best time behind Marco Melandri.
