Exciting qualifying. Stoner on a mission, great performance by Lorenzo. Could be a great race.

and I will be there to see it live!

Qualifying was pretty good. Crowd was disappointing. I heard that with all the riders threatening to boycott they were struggling to get momentum for crowds to show up.
Anyway - a spectacular track and a couple of highlights for me by the final downhill straight.

1. Most of the Moto2 boys backing it before hitting the apex (9/10 anyway)
2. The phenomenal acceleration of the MotoGP boys before the front wheel lifts up at near 200 mph and then hard on the anchors and so fast down 4 gears before elbows down around the bend. Awe inspiring to watch live. Even the slowest of the riders were great to watch there.

Will be back tomorrow for the races. Can't wait.

[Coolz]

Good races! Whoohoo
man chaos.... Who could have predicted it? Though it ended up not so bad

Top ride from spies, after being so sick and then run off the track!
Cute to see pedrosa that happy

Good ride from simoncelli but in a way I'm sad for poor dovi, he was on fire at the start!
