So who do you think will stand on the podium at the first Motogp race?   I think Stoner on the top one ,Pedrosa 2nd,and Spies 3rd. but not takin bets!                                                                                                                                                                             

hail king valentino !!                                                                                                                                                                              

Stoner, Spies, Lorenzo                                                                                                                                                                              

ianhg1971 If rossi wins that'll be he best sandbaggin i've ever seen!!                                                                                                                                                                             

Quote from Rossi on motogp.com

“I think that without my shoulder problem, which is causing us to lose five or six tenths, we could have been on the second row today. We were able to improve the setup by making important changes that will help in the foreseeable future. Today I was able to ride the GP11 better, but by the time we used the soft tyre at the end of the session, my strength was gone. There were some parts of the track where I just couldn’t push. Anyway, we got an okay time and we still have some things we can try in the warm-up. As for the race, I think that as long as my shoulder lasts, we’ll be able to have a pace that’s relatively competitive, apart from the two Hondas.”

No sandbaggin today I reckon.  

Stoner, Pedrosa, Lorenzo for me and matching qulaifying.
