Capirossi, Hopkins, Melandri.

Rossi uncharacteristically qualified 11th.

Let's hope there is no huge accident this time at Motegi.

The whole time I was expecting Tamada to do a blazing lap but it never happened. He qualified 4th, which is not bad at all but he did not even break into the 46's. He was just about over half a second off of his old pole record last year.

I can't wait to see the race, Hopper on the front row WOOHOO!
 
I know not to bet against Rossi but I think that this is the race that breaks his podium streak, I think we see Bridgestone take all three positions. Capirossi looks unstoppable and the Suzukis look quick, I predict Capirossi Hopkins Roberts.
 
ooost u gud well b right about rossi and his podiums but this is where burgess will b at his very best trying his hardest to get rossi more competative,, oooooh i cant wait 4 that first corner..
 
What happend here then look's like a proper mixed bag !and should make for a great race
<

Qualifing places and times for the Japan gp !
 
I still wouldn't bet against Rossi, I've seen him go from 10th to 1st on the 1st lap.

I wonder what we will be saying tomorrow when he win's

Biggest question I have is will the Brigestones last ????

Ahh you lucky Costa I have to wait till Monday night to see it, its delayed here so I have to stay away from the interweb and the paper's tomorrow.

I agree the japanese are know for there sucide act's


Kev interesting the no of laps 48's, just one thing to say about that is how often does burgess come up with a good setting overnight, quite often!. It an't over yet. I's gonna be a good one
