<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Rossi was using a Q-tire capable to last for two laps thanks to a special setup. He did his fast lap on the second lap.
Pedrobot used a plain Q-tire which thanks to his light weight could last two laps... And he also made pole on the second lap.
It was natural in those drying condition, to need two laps to find the right rhythm and confidence. I think Pedrbot's light weight helped him do two laps with a qualifier without need to modify the setup, which eventually made him faster.
Rossi will start sandwidched between the two Spaniards, with Pedrosa very probably 1st on the first lap(s). Stoner will come from behind, difficult to tell if he'll be able to reach the top three--I certainly hope so, depends on luck also...
.
Lorenzo likely to fade on his Michelin tires as the race progresses.
i think stoner may get near front from the start you know how quick that bike is accelerating, i think your rite about pedro leading the first lap he is very very quick on starts (maybe cos he is so light)...
it will be nice if stoner can cut through the pack im not sure how hard he will be able to push with a dodgy hand.
i hope this is gonna be a good race
