well we are less than 24hrs from the start of the season and it looks like a good one, stoner at the front, the new boys including toseland right up there, and sausage boy has no excuses this season.

so whats everyones predictions for not only this weekend but the season??

[curlie467]

I think the rookies are going to go well.

[freddytin]

Casey is going to rub their noses in it, Big Time.

[freddytin]

And J.T is going prove his critics wrong.

[Schmeeky]

Live qualifying is now on on British Eurosport, (channel 410 on Sky)

Tosland just beat rossi's qualifying record from last year by 0.5sec!!! Go JT!!

[apn]

13 minutes to go.... go JT!

[Schmeeky]

2nd on the grid!!

And Rossi on the supposedly better bike way down in 9th! Would you Adam and Eve it?

And I thought he'd get the pole up until Lorenzo spoilt it.

Also great result in the 125s

Supposedly by Estoril, then by Jerez after yesterdays performance, now.......next round I suppose

[marky911]

Yep, there looks set to be some good racing, a welcome return!

What about Melandri though, opposite end of the grid to Stoner, that's some difference!!

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sky +'d the qualifying and have just watched it now, had me on the edge of the sofa, absolutely amazing, what a ride, what a track, love the night qualifying. The sparks and flames are amazing. Commentators emotions were good to hear too, the excitement as JT went pole gave me that funny welling up feeling in my eyes !! Maybe I get a little over emotional with motorsports but I absolutely love it !! Dont want to waste my weekend away but godadamn, hurry up sunday so I can see the race !!

[IsMad]

I know, I was soo pissed off with Lorenzo tonight!! I can not wait for the race tomorrow.

[tim2100]

Just finished watching this. Great qualifying.

top 3 yamahas, when was the last time that happened?

Two rookies in top two.

3 defending world champions in top 4.

This looks like an awesome race!

Although he still looks like the man to beat, i dont think he's going to win as many as last year?? Going by Pre-season testing its looking good for him, but then when has Pre-season testing had anything to do with the Racing Season??!!

If you'd have asked me last November if I thought we'd ever see three Yamahas on the front row of the grid, I'd probably have just laughed in your face. If you were then to go on and say that one of those Yamahas wouldn't be Rossi's, I'd probably have died laughing.

[treehack]

is the BBC showing the race? i see there's a preview of the season at 2.10 pm but can't see a sign of the race being shown?
