However the first 16 places are are covered by less than a second.................all makes for a good race tomorrow.

They were all loosing a shed load of time in last sector...up the hill. Randy DeP was lucky at the end...pity as he was on a quick one.

Hats off to Pedrosa, he seemed to be in a different league to everyone else.

You all know my thoughts on Rossi, however am glad to see that he is okay. Must admit though, I did cheer when the camera came back from the leaders to show him trying to get the bike up. :)

Laguna Seca next.............am I right in saying that Rossi doesn't usually go to well there?

Bet the fat bird is getting fed up now!!

I bet Stoner was grinning when he saw the "Rossi Out" pit board!!

The tyres seemed to be getting tortured towards the end due to the heat & abrasive surface.

Mind you Hayden & Edwards were flying in the last 10 or so laps.

Dani was away with it today, though.

Laguna Seca has never been one of Rossi's favourite tracks. I think Hayden will do well at his home track again.

It was a real SeaSaw in parts, Melandri, Hopper, Hayden, Edwards coming on strong then some fading back. Dani was fairly on it.

Randy DeP was not hanging about, Rossi couldn't find away around, fair balls for trying that Manouver, it was a tight one.

Rossi never seems to go well at Laguna, maybe his luck will change....btw still the Pole man doesn't take the win......
