?Buzzing? Cudlin hopes to close gap

Damian Cudlin says his aim for his first MotoGP weekend is just to keep chipping away at the gap to the regular riders. The Australian, who currently races in Germany's IDM Supersport series, was a surprise choice to sit in for the injured Loris Capirossi at Pramac Ducati for this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix. Despite being totally unfamiliar with MotoGP machinery and having never tried the Motegi track before, Cudlin got down to within 4.5 seconds of pacesetter Dani Pedrosa in practice today.
