Not a huge difference between FP1 and FP2 other than Rossi going down the timing table

From the above it looks like some of the American riders have menaged to locate the throttle on their bikes

Not sure what happened to Dovi, Moaner and Dani (did they even bother going out on the track?)

The factory Honda boys didn't go out and Dovi only put in a couple laps.
 
There is a dense fog on the track and visibility is terrible and traction is nil even with soft tires. Nothing really to accomplish by going out in those condition. Marshals are showing wet track flags. Everyone's going to have to go for it in QP.
 
I was watching at turn 2.. stoner got held up on his last lap.. but good on Lorenzo man.. that was good
 
Nice last-minute shootout.



Haystack 0.8 ahead of The Great Ego. (No, I will never get tired of seeing Flossi force-fed humble pie.)

Jlo is just unstoppable he was down by a tenth on CS on his last lap and some how found 3 tenths in the last two sectors, lap record smashed.

The good news is CS is looking like he wants to turn this into a race, Caseey and Jlo show tomorrow.

Petrucci screwed his last sector. Cost him pole but in the scheme of thing you get no points for pole & he is on the front row.

Having CRT & prototype bikes on the same track is making a mockery of the series. Have one or the other but not both.

They are 4 seconds a lap slower around a small track.

Pedrosa must have had some setup issues or traffic because he never looked like challenging.

He will probably lead into turn 1 & play a big part in the race.

JLo will be tough to beat. Very smooth out there.

The only reason Lorenzo manage to find time on last 2 sectors because CS got held up on both of his hot laps. I can fully understand his frustration regarding quali seesion today. They really need to get rid of CRT bikes in last half hour of quali session.



@Frizzle, you beat me to it

Thats a damn good idea ....... Dorna will never go for it.
 
Good session for the most part.



Stoner complains again, Lorenzo shows his consistancy....usual suspects at the top. Def going to be a good race...Go Lorenzo!



I wish we could have seen spies' crash, it looked like a bad one and he was pretty dizzy gettin back up.



I wonder if they are going to let rapp race as he was over the 107% qualification

Yeah I saw him get hled up in the last turn but for Jlo to make up that much time in two sectors is amazing, I think he hhad something in reserve the entire time.
 
Yes Lorenzo had a bad first sector, he'd been through there a tenth quicker so neither stoner nor Lorenzo got their best lap in.
