Cold tyres and too much throttle end Casey Stoner's race before it begins.

Pre season testing always leads to unstoppable speculation and, it seems that this year is no exception with Moto GP testing at Sepang completing. Rossi having a superb test, Stoner bringing the bike up to speed and, rookie, Ben Spies moving satisfyingly up the order.
