Japanese rain is definitely against Casey Stoner testing the Honda machinery: the test at Motegi was canceled, and everybody is going back to their home bearing only frustration in mind.
After rain hampered the initial day of Casey Stoner's second test with Repsol Honda at Motegi, both the team and the former world champion hoped for the conditions improving at least for the second half of the scheduled Motegi period.

Rain begged to differ once more, and not only conditions lacked any improvement, but things went from bad to worse, forcing Honda to call it a day and prepare to pack and go home.

So it's up to the next tests to be held at Motegi October 2-3 when Stoner will get to throw a leg over the RCV1000R production racer... in case the rain will permit this, of course.
