Mugello Qualifying...

Gibbers on pole!

absolutley demolised the lap record too by more than a second... lol but the top 12 were all under the best lap record

tis gonna be a good race

^ At long last, and a nice 1mill for me

Was debating on whether to sack him the other week, but maybe it will do his confidence a lot of good and hopefully finish in some good races.

No surprises from Loris or Rossi, was surprised to see Edwards down in 14th though.

Again a nice qualifying session for Nakano and Kawasaki.

Looking forward to the race tomorrow.

I was in the same situation as you Dazza, I kept Sete for a few races hoping he would get good results by my patience lasted until LeMans only. I fired Sete and NOW HE GETS POLE!

Motogp.com said he took 2 tenths from Rossi's QP record set last year, hardly sensational. If so it's less than usuall improvement the last years but then again, mabe conditions wasn't optimal.

I listened to the three top riders interviews and Gib called this a vitory, dedicated it to Ducati? and will probably fade away tomorrow as usuall more than content with the pole today.

Capirossi was happy but realized it will be very difficult to morrow, not really expecting to to stay on the top of the podium.

Rossi was his normal confident, problems sorted after a long time outside the fornt row and had a really good race rythm and was obviously looking forward to the race. Not even mentioning the pressurure from the standings only that it was important as it was his home track with fans and friends.

There were two defencive and one offencive guys up there today.
Anybody still wondering about rossi's state of mind?

1. Sete Gibernau - Ducati Marlboro 1'48.969
2. Loris Capirossi - Ducati Marlboro 1'49.058
3. Valentino Rossi - Camel Yamaha 1'49.167
4. Nicky Hayden - Repsol Honda 1'49.212
5. Shinya Nakano - Kawasaki Racing 1'49.328
6. Marco Melandri - Fortuna Honda 1'49.343
7. John Hopkins - Rizla Suzuki 1'49.478
8. Dani Pedrosa - Repsol Honda 1'49.516
9. Casey Stoner - Honda LCR 1'49.915
10. Makoto Tamada - Konica Minolta 1'50.084

I feel Valentino gonna be first on podium.
I think Gibernou will be second.
And Dani Pedrosa can make a show for us

Theres a tool called copy and paste Alex

Nice one Sete.

Lets face it the guy is the fastest round most tracks during qualifing.

Alas as usual he will lead the race for the first few laps and be way in front of the rest and then fade away. Go Sete go!!!

With Rossi third on the grid I can't see him loosing unless the bike fails him.

Right i'm only 14 but I know that two tenths is quite a lot in racing times, especially if you build them up through the sectors/laps.

Wooo just 15 minutes left!
