Pedrosa's Honda was clocked at 202.5 mph on Friday.

Blazing top speeds are the rule of the day in China ... Sylvain Guintoli's Ducati was clocked at 204.6 miles per hour on Friday.

Diminutive Dani Pedrosa hit 202.5 and Casey Stoner's Desmosedici was timed at 202.3. The other two Ducati riders (Marco Melandri and Toni Elias) also topped 200 miles per hour as well, making five bikes over the "double ton".

Americans John Hopkins and Nicky Hayden look to be lacking in the top speed department. The two were fifth and sixth in lap times but both were at eight miles per hour down on Guintoli's speed.
