One of the best qualifying sessions I have witnessed all year, hopefully it will be a close race.
It was a great qualifying, but if you look at the race analysis tables they tell a very different tale. Some of the higher qualifyers are have dreadful race tyre times.
The only riders actually running up front in race and qualyfing were on largely on Bridgestones, or called Vale and Checa. The race is going to be run in the higher 1:34s and low to mid 1:35s, and most riders struggle to get into those times consistent, namely Hayden, Pedrosa and Hopkins.

Suprise for me so far is DePuniet, if can get a good start then he will get on the podium. If Westy can get a good start then he is top 6 easily since most of the Honda's will be going backward.
Should be a great race not matter what happens!
