| Bayliss quickest on wet first day at Valencia
From the MotoGP website
Troy Bayliss on his RC211V with the quickest time on a wet first day of tests at Valencia. With his replacement at Ducati, Carlos Checa, just a couple of doors down pit-lane, Bayliss worked alone in the Camel Honda garage as his team-mate Alex Barros' return from a shoulder injury was postponed until tomorrow.
Nicky Hayden also lapped without an injured team-mate, with Max Biaggi still ruled out with a broken ankle, and Makoto Tamada completed his first laps on Michelin's wet tyres as the only rider in the Konica Minolta Honda team.
