The Yamaha teams were at the pointy end of the test, but not the Yamaha rider many were expecting. Marco Melandri put his Fortuna Yamaha on the top of the time sheets with a 1'55.95 lap, a full second better than his race qualifying time from the day before - a positive result for the Italian after a disappointing seventh place finish in the race.
The Camel Yamaha team mates of Valentino Rossi and Colin Edwards were next best on the time sheet (1'56.22 and 1'56.35 respectively), followed by Nicky Hayden (Repsol Honda), Sete Gibernau (Marlboro Ducati) and Loris Capirossi (Marlboro Ducati).
