Hayden with a 1.29.02 moves into first place... top five now Hayden, Roberts, Nakano, Checa, Stoner

Rossi runs off while on a quick one with his qualifier on... could be in trouble and currently 9th fastest

**Marknz** · 16th September 2006, 17:01

Rossi to second, 1m29.271. Edwards to fourth 1m29.68

**Marknz** · 16th September 2006, 17:01

Session fnished and riders out on their final lap.... final qualifying times will be up shortly

**Marknz** · 16th September 2006, 17:06

Great result for Bridgestone... Nakano 2nd and De Puniet 9th,

Front row Hayden, Nakano, Rossi.... Second row Roberts, Edwards, Checa.... Third row Melandri, Stoner, De Puniet

Arguably the biggest surprises will be Capirossi on the front of the 5th row, Pedrosa on the front of the 4th row, and Charlie Chucker Checa in 6th outright.

But that's it now. It all means nothing really come this time tomorrow.

Was a brilliant session. Rossi ran off the track on the warm up lap after he came in for his last qualifier. Can't wait for the race, should be a good one. Good to see that little ankle biting midget well down the field too.

Lazy Ocker!
Just caught live timing of 250 warm up on MotoGP site,but enjoy the oz notes.

Change of plan. Selfish old me is off to the pub to watch the Wgtn v Cant game, and will not be around to provide updates. I too will be steering clear of all media to try and ensure I get to see the racing tonight on Prime 'live'.
