Free practice times (3) - Shanghai.

Hey Hey Hey . The Ducati's are still leading from the Back. As of now at least some of the Noise level has gone down. Still need to get the other half to keep quiet and and not forgetting the Clown to keep quiet. At least he has behaved quite well at this moment.Let me see it was "the 1 Pointer and now its the 7 pointer lets see if we can get a 32 pointer tommorrow. Too funny.
Good Job Jorge Lorenzo. Take it easy

I hope you dont speak english as a first language

Gibberish is more like it...

Flukey Moaner is in control as he mentioned, but it somehow looks like not so much in control as last year...things are not as easy - thanks to moto gp gods!

Looking at the all the times that session Rossi and Stoner were
consistantly in the 1.59 or low 2.00"s. Dani did 2 laps in the 1.59 while he and Edwards were also doing low 2.00's.

Might be a 4 way battle for the lead.
Last year VR qualified on pole (1'58.424) over a second quicker than CS (1'59.516)who qualified 3rd behind Hopkins!
Lets see if they have made much of a gain this year.

Does anyone know who was using qualifying tyres?

Message to Very Agro GINA. This is "The Doctor" Please up your dosage as the medication doesnt seem to be working.

Gina Voglar.... read my last post and you will see who was in control last year in
qualifying and yet who won????

Maybe now VR is on BS tyres he should be more competitve through out the whole
race. But we know how good the tyres last on CS"s bike!!

Did anybody see Toseland following Guintoli, when they hit the main straight Guinters left him for dead nochance of a slipstream, don't car how much better the jap bikes are they must still be scratching their heads....

Rossi & Pedrosa both under the lap record and Stoner just outside it. But as Lucifer notes, it is about being able to lap consistently fast, not one fast lap. I doubt anyone would have used a qualifying tyre in FP3, unless they thought it would rain in Qualifying... Seem to recall we had a situation last year when FP times set the grid after a washed out Q session. Anyone remember where?

The first champion of Moto GP in shanghai is won by rossi, now it seems this is the last motor race in shanghai circuit, I wanna see him be the top again, it is a long time since last time he won the champion

Clearly quite a few people here are perpetuating the theme that the Internet is the Land of the Midnight Masturbators. Why else the idiot commentary? A couple of points. 1, Despite his injured ankles, Lorenzo is faster than Melandri, West, Guintoli and Toseland. Pretty damned good effort. 2, Elias, on a satellite Ducati, is faster than Melandri on the second works bike. There were MANY who predicted Marco would show Stoner a few lessons this season. So far, the lesson seems to be: "Look at me, I have a factory Bike and I am the slowest." Which is probably something only the British could understand

Hell no! I'm not british but I've noticed that Marco is a back marker.
Way to go Edwards with the nice pole, but I'll drink tea (instead of espresso!)if Edwards mix it with Rossi,Casey and the spanish kids. I predict Pedrosa first at the first corner, but the battle will be between Casey and Rossi.

By the way The Morgue, dutch is the closest thing to real gibberish.
