John Hopkins USA Rizla Suzuki MotoGP (B) 1min 23.452 secs 4. Colin Edwards USA Fiat Yamaha Team (M) 1min 23.535 secs 5. Dani Pedrosa SPA Repsol Honda Team (M) 1min 23.548 secs 6. Valentino Rossi ITA Fiat Yamaha Team (M) 1min 23.550 secs 7. Chris Vermeulen AUS Rizla Suzuki MotoGP (B) 1min 23.576 secs 8. Nicky Hayden USA Repsol Honda Team (M) 1min 23.768 secs 9. Loris Capirossi ITA Ducati Marlboro Team (B) 1min 23.912 secs 10. Makoto Tamada JPN Dunlop Tech 3 Yamaha (D) 1min 23.965 secs 11. Carlos Checa SPA Honda LCR (M) 1min 23.998 secs 12. Randy de Puniet FRA Kawasaki Racing Team (B) 1min 24.043 secs 13. Anthony West AUS Kawasaki Racing Team (B) 1min 24.077 secs 14. Sylvain Guintoli FRA Dunlop Tech 3 Yamaha (D) 1min 24.173 secs 15. Roger Lee Hayden USA Kawasaki Racing Team (B) 1min 24.325 secs 16. Alex Barros BRA Pramac d'Antin MotoGP (B) 1min 24.457 secs 17. Kurtis Roberts USA Team Roberts (M) 1min 24.666 secs 18. Shinya Nakano JPN Konica Minolta Honda (M) 1min 24.850 secs 19. Miguel Duhamel USA Honda Gresini (B) 1min 25.550 secs * 20. Chaz Davies GBR Pramac d'Antin MotoGP (B) 1min 26.459 secs No surprise at the top but a real surprise at the bottom! Chaz Davies has been drafted in to replace the injured Alex Hoffman. Of course having missed first practice and being a Laguna rookie anything other than last place will be a total triumph. I'm chuffed that Chaz has got a half decent GP ride at last. Roger Lee Hayden is the best of the American one-offs though, he ran in 10th for a lot of the session, putting Kwakka's regular riders under pressure. Other than that difficult to see who has the race pace edge. Bridgestone seem to be faster, but Michelin seem to have better longevity. |

Yeah, there was a similar accident in the 125's a few races back. It's always going to be a risk unfortunately. Then there was Hopper trying to kick Blocker Checa for getting in his way For which he's copped a fine: http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/61029 Qualfying Times Pos Rider Bike Time 1.
