[font="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]It is I think the first time that Stoner doesn't improve compared to 2010 in quali. The Laguna track is more bumpy this year, they say.[/font]

I dont know. The yamahas tend to run its fastest laps at the end of the race. He has tracked down the lead more than a couple times over the last year and a half. If Jorge can stay within 3 sec. I say he will win. I think both him and Spies will be on the box.

In Spies interview with motogp.com after free practice. About his crash Ben says with a big smirk "I ran out of a bit of talent in turn three and crashed."
yeah it's on GPone, he needs to take a race off and let things heal, no need to risk things for Ducati.

Southern Aridzona - Hell's doorstep.
Stoner fastest in the morning warm-up. Both he and J-Lo ran shorts strings right about at 22.0
Whether or not this means 27 will go faster later in the day is unknown. Maybe they found something overnight, or maybe the Honda is a just little better, in comparison to the Yam, on a cooler track.
