For what it matters - the barcode is still on the back of Nicky's leathers. Actually... isn't the barcode a logo for San Disc?
Edwards does a 134.317
Then Stoner beats it - on race tires.
What an exiting last 10 minutes of qualifying.
I thought Stoner had it in bag, Did anyone interrupt his last lap? Lorenzo is on it again, i think and hopefully this will be an exiting race again. Fight aliens fight.

Nope didn't see the practice but let me put it to you this way: last year Hayden was behind BOTH Suzis in points and on the track, this year he's at the pointy end. What changed? Hayden didn't suddenly get better... hmmm. Cappers still fighting the Suz and the Ducs are at the front. The Ducati is on par with the Yams and Hondas this year methinks. Even with my eyes closed I can see this... et tu?

Come on Jumks, Ducs got 4th and 5th in Q, Suz got 9th and with another Sat Duc right behind in 10th!
I also think Ducs are great and fast, I think the changes help Hayden and Stoner has not addapted, but Ducs are surelly greater than Suz!
Later Stoner was in someone else's way… And none gives him the birdie? Stoner still is a bit of a spoiled brat! (Or not just a bit).

I am beginning to think you don't like casey V.
Well done by hayden, in both developing and riding this bike. Not all that surprising to me from a former world champion.
I actually thought casey's pace on race tyres on what has not been his track previously was impressive, but historically he probably needs to be dominant in practice to have a chance against the yamahas.
There's been several times now Michael, in which Stoner's attitude is like: "Get out of MY way"... Is this his Track? Even if it was, does he want others to play with him and his ball?
Conditions are the same for all Riders, and a lot of Riders are in the way of the others. I know sometimes their fast laps get bugged for one reason or another, but it may happen to anyone. I think not even half Q time was up and it wasn't like Stoner's very last fast lap. So you could assume I like Stoner as much as I like Pedrosa... Sorry mate, as consolation you can affirm I really do not like Puig!

I didn't see the incident even though I watched the whole australian TV coverage; the dorna video coverage keeps breaking up here. I did see him not perturbed earlier in the day when baulked . How slowly was espargaro going and was he right on the racing line?.
I actually don't mind pedrosa. Not so keen on puig, although I am grateful for what he did for stoner and understand he has done a lot for other young riders.
