My sentiments exactly. It looks like everyone above Rossi were on qualys. Should be a good one tomorrow.

Its ....... 5 am when it starts on the west coast in the US, I hate my time zone.

Wow. Capirossi put the smack down on Chris.

Verme better find some pace or he's not going to be in motogp much longer.

Can I be happy
Randy is second!!! Yaisse!!!

ant west put the smack down on john hopkins, hoppa better improve or he wont be around for long

would you say a, "HONG KONG" styled smack down?

Yes but Hopkins had a strong night.......


(I promise later in HQ )

Think I'll put my money on Hayden for the Beemer after yesterday. Looks like the Michelin quali is still the faster tyre.

I would tend to agree, BUT they are saying it might rain! That will cause me to have a rethink!

Wow, Anthony West beat a man who's carrying an injury.

CONGRATULATIONS!

mmmm, rain. Cat, meet Pigeons.

Bridgestone need to improve their qualifying rubber.

Nicky :


“All in all, a pretty positive day. I would definitely say this was the best first day of tests we’ve had so far this year. And we knew it was important, because the weather experts are saying there’s a really good chanced of rain the next two days.


I tried a different chassis, it felt slightly better with a little more feel on the front, so we used that most of the day and it felt pretty good. We went through a few other things, not making big changes because we’re getting closer to the season now, just a few little settings changes, and when I thought things felt better the stopwatch normally went along with it, which is always good. At the end I did race distance and it didn’t feel too bad. We were able to get into the 40s on race tyres, though we still need to get in there a little deeper, we still need to improve a bit.”

But of course. Bridgestone race tires vs Michelin Q-tires.
