I've just watched it on Eurosport.

Well done Bradley. 2 poles in 2 races and by .5 of a second!

Yeah what the hell is going on there with Melandri and Hayden?

Supposedly the best equipment in the field but turning in shockingly shcensoredt performances. Looks like Hayden's style preferred the 990 smokers to the flying gas can 800s and Melandri has obviously been given a badged-up Desmo RR for a laugh. biggrin

I wonder if Melandri has finally decided that playing the hard man doesn't do him any good -after his various collection of bone crunching crashes over last year or so.
Shame, he certainly could run with the best. Like I said before as far as Stoner goes I think he's just been lucky & "gelled" with the 800 Duke-perhaps because it tames his style. Although he was always a good tryer he hadn't shown massive consistency in 125 & 250. Not taking anything away from his success tho'. smile

And everyone (his team and the other teams) watching on the screens in the pits loved it too.

WOW WOW WOW WOW, what a qualifying session, havent watched the 125 or 250 yet but I need a rest before them. Well done Lorenzo and all riders, some very very fast times there. An amazing save by Edwards and some amazing footage of rear wheels skipping and bouncing all over the place. Im glad that the Ducati isnt dominating, see what happens during the race tomorrow

Colin Edwards. What a boy. That is the save to end all saves!

I hope Toseland gets over his bronchitis. Nasty thing to go racing with.

Not my favourite rider, but Danny looked very business like todayscratchchin


What was all that with Stoner kicking out at Loris??? He was no where near the racing line.

If he keeps shaking his head and gestickulating to other riders the way he does, sooner or later one of em will tt himhehe
I was thinking the same thing!!! Maybe he was in the cream puff because of his times??!! laugh
