GLOTEGI GP 2011: Predictions, Practice, Qual

Too right the Q is the race!
<

Whats cool about Q is that the climax is always at the end of the session...unlike the next practice on Sunday.



However, given my characterization, i may hav to take up another hobby; since ive been told 3 times in the last two weeks that i dont really appreciate this sport, and so, i should stop following it it.

Curve, you're right - MotoGP action at a civilized hour rocks!



4 laps in, Stonah does a 46 flat.

Lorenzo follows (nearly so), only 0.3 behind! Go go, J-gLOw!
 
Pedro in the 1.45's



With all the recent Marquez noise, Pedro is now riding for a job in 2013. I expect we'll see him challenging Stoner ... or crashing in the attempt.



VR, having likely stolen 'borrowed' Nicky's entire ....... bike, is looking semi respectable at 1:47.0



Hope Spies is feeling up to Q. He looked good in FP3.

(Looks like they might have bumped the setup in the wrong direction - he has yet to match FP3 speed.)
 
J-gLOw whittling away at the Hondas; now level with 27. First to make a proper Q run, or an improved race setup?
 
Bautista has the Zook up to P6 and sub 47. We can only hope the suits back in Hamamatsu are paying attention.
 
"Fhaaaack!" J-Lo leaps to P1!

Speez chopped 1/2 sec of the gap to Dovi.



3 min to go.

Pedro and Stoner on warm-up laps...
 
Dani's last lap falls short of Dovi. Good last-gasp by VR for P7, just 0.2 behind Sasquatch.

That was exciting. Lorenzo making a last moment challenge for pole and Stoner responding was thrilling. Then Stoner snatches pole in last minute. Dovi on a mission out quals Pedro, who didn't look happy. But it won't matter, pedro will be first into turn one. Rossi though he would be on second row then Sic pushed him back to the standard third row for Ducati.



It occurred to me that watching qual is more exciting than some races because they follow the rider on a one off on-the-limit lap; which highlights the amazing talent these riders exibit.



Also, I'd like to add, those fans holding up those "thank you for supporting Japan" and "thank you for coming to Japan" signs made me cringe. I'd prefer they just hold up signs that say ".... you GP divas".
 
that was awesome. I loved lorenzo popping up the wheelie with 5 mins to go, he must have known that was a cracker of a lap

something interesting to note too, that was the first time this year (weather aside) that VR has gone faster than Casey did last year on the duke. Ironically though. they both changed riding positions at this track and turned their seasons around.

No incorrect, Stoner changed it at Aragon.
 
I predict all this radiation will make Stoners baby have ears that stick out, giant teeth, stunted growth, breast milk allergies, abnormal cravings for cotton candy and an ornery disposition that causes it to cry all the time





Ha Ha I love this post!
 
Jumkie, Curve, Jonny, Digger and the boppers, could you guys stop posting boring posts, I'm getting old and I don't want to waste even 1 second of the rest of my life.



Thank you for your cooperation .....
