Wow. Mr Rossi isn't going to like that.
His teamate just blitzed the field.
These rookies are amazing. I think that entire field just sat up and took notice...
Toseland, Chupa Chup, incredible

what a battle between Toseland and Lorenzo.
The season is just a few days old and they are already contributing.

I think that Michelin is back and that Yamaha is back.

Can't wait for the RACE!!

Yamaha 1,2,3
Rossi is the last Yamaha across the line.
What is going on?
Honda are completely lost, flailing wildly in the desert darkness searching for speed.
I think its becoming obvious why the bikes are so much faster this year: balls.
Yep, that's it. Who is willing to hang their balls farthest off the bike is going to take the title this year.
Oh yeah, I need to gloat: to all the people who said Honda wouldn't develop/run two bikes to suit their two stars: you were smoking ..... Especially you, Migs.

Lorenzo was also running identical times to Stoner on race tyres in practice and the rest were nowhere.
That is an interesting fact which shows he can fight for the win.

Michelin were good here last year as well. The top speed of the Ducati was too much to overcome.

Yes, clearly HRC Repsol race pace is blowing the field away...
Did you notice who was riding the '08 and who was riding the '07 machine from Repsol team?
One bike direction for Repsol based on '07 machine....Nicky's prefered bike was not in attendance (the Pneumatic model).

im still wowing lorenzo dammit i aint gonna sleep tonight
i'm thinking 7th is actually very well done to Rossi.. only him and Stoner in the top 10 for bridgestone.
we will have to wait and see what tyre performs better over the race distance.

I think Hayden may be riding the '07 bike that the really liked at the end of the season and Pedrosa riding the '08 character bike.

The '08 is an evolution of the '07 which Dani finished the '07 season on....and given his interviews of late had probably largely developed....
The '08 developement so far though has been up to Nicky...so if it goes well on Sunday then Dani will take the credit...and if it goes bad then Nicky will be blamed by Dani...assuming Dani does not demand the swap bike during the night...

Are you trying to tell us something.
You missed the pipe....It is JR Bob Dobbs, mate!

Migs, you are so predictable.
Don't you think I already knew that? So basically I left it uncovered so you could show everyone how deeply into your ... you are willing to reach to remain confrontational.
You're right. Honda isn't running two bikes because Pedrosa is on the 2008 and Hayden is on the updated 2007. Thanks for clarifying.
I love the internet
Even though the bikes they were riding are contrary to what I speculated, I don't think it has anything to do with who the bikes were built for. Nicky has been groomed by HRC to be a conservative points scorer. Pedrosa has been taught by Puig to charge windmills--he switched to the 08 looking for a pole or top 3.
