A moist cold morning at Brno didn't make for the most exciting of free practice sessions. Although it does turn out that Michelin Tyres also suck in the cold. (Btw I recommend checking out the Michelin plug free video on motogp.com staring none other that Sir Crashalot himself)
Everyone was at least 10 seconds slower than yesterday afternoon so there was no way to gauge how well they'll do in qualifying this afternoon or the race tomorrow. For Example: Ant West finished 10th... like there's any chance of that happening this afternoon.
It was however interesting to see how many laps each of the riders completed in their hour practice. The Factory Ducati boys had a nice relaxing morning with Stoner only managing to complete 4 laps and his tentative team mate only completing 5. And yes I've heard all about Stoner's illness, as far as I'm concerned he just needs to Man Up!
Ahead in the amount of laps were Capirossi and Rossi, both comfortably completing 21 laps. Obviously these boys are aware of the fact that they get paid to ride, not sit on their kangaroo skin covered arses, a concept they might want to share with some of the other riders including the Tech 3 Yamaha team who managed 12 laps each.
Oh and back to the tyre debacle, here's how Bridgestone and Michelin were spread out among the field at the end of the 3rd Practice:
1. Bridgestone
2. Bridgestone
3. Bridgestone
4. Bridgestone
5. Bridgestone
6. Bridgestone
7. Bridgestone
8. Michelin
9. Bridgestone
10. Bridgestone
11. Michelin
