MOTOGP » Vermeulen has speed for second

1.21.9 is a great lap on race tyres, I realy thought that Chris did that on q tyres.. If he can make a good start we might have a nice battle between him and Valentino..

Vermeulen has to learn to qualify, it's his weak spot.

I think Casey is going to win, nothing is 100% though, but his lap time are so dominant. I really hope Hayden will not suffer from the colder surface, and that CV can get a good start so the battle for the second place/chasing Casey will be exciting.
While Chris "can't" qualify, Rossi is quite lousy at starts, almost as bad as Barros (WSBK last year), so we might see Chris and Rossi beside each other on 4-5 positions after half a lap. While Casey is very good in starts, not as good as DP but he is not here.

Rossi has to learn to start, it's his weak spot.

If Chris can get away well and not be held up for to long he will beat Rossi home easy I reckon. All things being equal that is ie Rossi choking as he tends to do at the start and Chris getting a flyer another 07 repeat could be on the cards...

Go the Aussies

You nailed it Morgue.

He's got 3 poles already, one in the dry here in laguna seca. Chris do know how to qualify definitely!
