I guess the result wasn't too surprising considering he has been
fastest all weekend, but Stoner didn't seemed that bothered about the
session, he went out did a lap or 2 then went back in again,
eventually pulled fastest lap made one more attempt to better it then
called it a day. He just got though, Pedrosa 2nd and only 0.004 secs
behind, a good recovery from a disappointing session this morning.
Melandri 3rd and only a whisker away too. Rossi in 6th, needless to
say he will be on the ball tomorrow though. A real shame for Hayden
14th but only 0.767 secs off pole, I doubt he will really factor in
the race.
I see it been battled out by Stoner, Rossi, Pedrosa and Melandri with
Hoppers hanging on to the lead bunch as usual and gradually drifting
back in the latter stages.
My pick, Stoner, Melandri, Rossi, Pedrosa. It really depends on how
tyres last more than anything and Rossi could possibly preserve his
tyres better and be able to ride on spent tyres better but thats my
pick.

I'm not sure I'd call any of almost the whole field a dud. Old Alex
Hoffmann is 16th, only 4/5 of a second back. Only the last three qualifiers
(Fabrizio, Tamada and Kurtis R) are beyond 1 s. Heck, Kurtis is only 1.835
seconds behind, on a dry track.
I think this is the closest qualifying I've ever seen (I recall being
anazed with 10 within a second; with 16?).

Looks like it's a yahoo thing -- sites still independent of yahoo.com
are working: Russian and French (maybe Chinese too, I couldn't work out their
live-audio link...)
Speaking of French, I watched the last 250 race in Switzerland; the
Swiss commentators were calling Thomas Luthi "Tom-Tom".

The French have a way with words:
"Rossi est sur le tapis!" -- Rossi is on the carpet!
"Il est venu! Il est venu!" -- He has come, he has come! (Hayden passing
Edwards.)
Is Pedrosa supreme or is Stoner riding for the championship?

Oops, just after I posted that I saw that Melandri and Capi had
caught up...
