Both Capirossi and Randy did their best lap on their last lap... after struggling the whole session ( god that dukes are wild beasts). Before this laps they were somewhere around 13th and 15th
Rossi looked soo good... until this two guys did their last laps he had around 1 sec gap...

I think De Puniet was on qualifiers for his last lap but thats about it. Rossi alway tops the Friday sessions but ends up around 8th in qualifying and I am guessing that is going to happen this weekend.

Rossi also was on a qualy tyre in that fast lap

please don't say that...

It will do him extremely good if he could get pole position... won't waste laps on catching up the front runners instead of building a gap.

Lets wait and see! Going to be a cracker!!! I always never took notice in Qualifying but this week will be fun to watch as who is going to take pole. Very similar times on race tyres... lets see how the honda's react with a qualifying tyre! (my guess is very good)

Nakars has the highest percentage of laps under 2 min and DePuniet second fastest ( ??? ) If only FP times mattered

Interesting grid there

id say either nicky or val to win but I hope casey can pull something out the bag

GO STONER!!!
