*SPOILERS* le mans practice/qualify

i liked that power wheelie from Pedro
<
...he better settle down or i may start to like the little turd

I like the new format without qualifiers. We probably had 3 times as many laps in the last 20 min compared to last year. The commentators were surpriced when all the riders continued on the same tires with 5 min to go

Don't know what it means for the race though. Valentino was fourth on the grid by a larger margin at jerez with little detriment to his race. I am somewhat hopeful about stoner, he seemed to be doing fast laps fairly repetitively and comfortably.
 
He blamed it on following CV to closely which he did. Long night in the Rossi pit and a desperate email through the wall me thinks.

I agree - at Qatar I thought Dorna had pretty well ...... everything including the qualifying session.
Tonights qualifying was fantastic! The only trouble was that we needed multiple screens to view the last few laps from so many riders. I thought Stoner had it - then Chuppa had it, then from nowhere Pedrosa had it!! So many hot laps, so little screen time!!

3 yams in the top 6, still my prediction up & running… matches my likes of ’08:

Go Rossi 99 for 9th in ’09!
<

Lorenzo’s nearby land
<

Eduards’ few podium chances, stay at tech 3 man, don’t let go cause it’s out if you do.

Its going to be hard, Dani is very dangerous from pole if he gets away he is gone
Jorge has to make up for Jerez so he'll be gunning for it
I dont see stoner wining it but a podium is very possible
Rossi has a very hard task ahead of him with those 3 at the front maybe catalunya can be 100
Dovi must be getting desprate to get on the podium maybe Honda will come through this week
Id love to see Edwards get a podium, he has a chance this week

Nicky is showing some sign of improvement 13th if he can run mid pack and finish 10 or higher
it will prove a lot.
Now i got my self all pumped up, can't wait for tomorow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Yeah it will be very hard to predict who's gonna win this one. Stoner,Pedrosa,Lorenzo,Rossi have equal chances. Would be nice to see Rossi get his 99th.

Melandri is doing prety good again, hope he gets a nice result again in a fight with Edwards and Capi

. I bett Sete is thinking: why, oh why did I come back

Thats not me. I'm new here. Maybe you are thinking this because i states some facts about Hayden but I don't dislike him, only saying he has as much trouble with the Duc as everyone else dispite everyone's high expectations

Oh give me a freakin' break man. The guy is in 13th for goodness sakes! And you guys give him props for it? Man... are you blinded by his pearly white teeth when he smiles? Or are you just a plain old Hayden nuthugger? With that Factory Ducati under him, he's SUPPOSE to consistenty put it into the top 5.... and he improved from 15th last race to a 13th and you act as if he's a super hero or something. Stop trying to make Hayden look good, cuz you're failing miserably. Just tell it like it is...... he is not performing at where he should be, that's it end of story.
 
Sete injured again!!!But will he come back,possibly not,I remember reading somewhere pre season that he knew he wouldn`t be getting a podium and it was mainly just for a toe in the water of the 800`s.he`s just been so unlucky at times that I don`t think he wants it anymore,theres no denying he was good on a 990 though.

I never said 13th is a good place I just said it was an improvement from 17th which in no way implies me thinking that he will now win the race or world championship. That was just my opinion at his current race situation. Being a Hayden Fan i like to comment on his results wether they be good or bad. Just like im sure you like to follow Nakano's results in all his races, Which is usually in the back of the grid as well. So since Nakano sucks does that mean i should hate on him and everyone who roots for him, No i really dont care because hes never been significant. I also predicited that if pedrosa gets away he will win the race i guess that makes me a pedrosa fan aswell

He's French. It's his home GP. Elf probably paid more than his Playboy sponsor, who is Italian. LCR's sponsorship is race by race.
