Not the video, the live timing. Go to "Live Timing" on this site, its the same one MotoGP.com uses.


Except too narrow to see the extra weather etc.

I just can't believe Shinya! Last?! He must be a beaten man, resigned to a fate of not being there next year! To be 3/10's behind Kurtis is embarrassing!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE<div class='quotemain'>I would...how long did it take the Hopper to get a podium????..let me think...6 years....and please have a look at Westy’s places in motoGP since he joined!!!...
Lets not compare the Suzuki in the last five years to the Kawasaki this year ok? This years Kawasaki is as good as Yamaha and Honda. The 990 Suzuki's were terrible, comparable probably to the Tech3's this year.

Personally i rate Hopper almost as highly as i rate Westy .. Almost


He’s ok...but I most certainly don’t rate him!!!...he’s just one of these guys that with the Suzy's development has been there done that but couldn’t do anything because he doesn’t have the talent to squeeze 110% out of anything...well may I could be wrong as surely I could sqeeze 110% out of something else that the Hopper has!!!

Or may be Hopper was too busy with his g/f in that regard and he forgot about his beloved or behated (if there is such a word) Suzy!!!

Hopper was spotted as a teenager, he could jump on anything and go quick right away. we need more guys with Hoppers talent. I'm still laughing. or are you jealous?

no you're just sick You're right about westy, he'll spring a few surprises but Hopper won't be no flop.

I agree CSCVAW as I have already said Hopper will be the biggest diappointment of 2008.

I honestly think that if Westy gave antfan a dirty sanchaz he would so enjoy it.

Keep your queer fantasies to yourself..

Curious data, about that FP, other than the already mentioned 3rd pos for West. Checa was 4th and best Honda. And Yamaha set the 2nd and 3rd highest top speeds (Loris 246, Guintoli 244, Rossi 242)

Halfway through qualifying, and there's a Frenchman leading the charge (not often you can say that!). West 1.2 seconds behind him in 13th.

However, to offset the shock of having a Frenchman in front, we have a Frenchman bringing up the rear too. Well volunteered Sylvain.

Vermeulen jumps Stoner to take the honour of top Aussie for the moment in second. Its not looking like there are any qualifiers in yet.

CV's really coming along now. I expect him to outqualify and beat Hopper in the race. Stoner will get pole for sure!

Nakano's now only 1.1 off the pace, reckon he put a qualifier in?

But seriously, with ten minutes to go and times not coming down significantly, usually qualifiers are in by now on at least some of the teams. Reckon its started raining, hence the lack of better times?

Westy hit top spot for about 0.3 of a second. It's heating up....

Never mind, times are still coming down, just not by so much. Its a mystery, why no qualifiers?

De Puniet from Hopper from West from Vermeulen. All just set fastest times.
