Phillip Island GP - Spoilers

[Rawwr]

Stoner quickest in FP1 with de Puniet well over a second behind him and Rossi 2.288s behind him.

FP2 wasn't quite as smooth and despite Stoner being the only rider not to top his own FP1 time, he still led the field despite 'doing a Chilli' near the end of the session.

Can't believe how early I'm going to have to get up on Sunday morning :|

Chaz 2secs and 2 places faster than Barros in FP1, that made the old man wake up. Barros went 6th quickest in FP2 and Chaz up to 13th ahead of Vermeulen and Edwards.

Yeah, Chaz is looking suitably quick - really great to see

Any chance mods can add "practice results" to the title for those of us about to watch it on Sky Plus and didnt want to know?

Sorry :/

I've added spoiler. I thought being only Friday everyone would know it was only Friday practice, although now it can be used for the whole weekend.

Chaz had problems during qualifying, his bike was in the pits more than out with the fairings off, but when he managed to do a lap he was always going quicker, just had time at the end to put on a qualifying tyre and just 2/10th off Vermeulen and ahead of Elias.
