Still early days yet, hopefully the first practice session won't be too foreboding for the rest of the weekend. Mostly because I have my fingers crossed for Rossi to come through with the goods on Sunday afternoon, for various reasons: It's the only MotoGP track that he hasn't won on, it's his home track, he's looking to equal the premier class win record of 68 set by Giacomo Agostini, etc, etc...
VALE! VALE! VALE!
And moving back to what happen during Free Practice number 1... Stoner... in front as usual. Colin Edwards a bit of a surprise in 2nd position, don't get me wrong, I do love a bit of Texas Tornado, but he's on a Michelin shod Satellite Machine, which are not the things winners are made of.
Alex de Angelis, drawing a bit of motivation from his home crowd finishes up in 3rd and Lorenzo looks to be back to form in 4th, yay for him, poor boy needs to get his confidence back. And that leads us to Rossi in 5th place...1.042 seconds behind Stoner. I'm pretty damn sure that Rossi will find that second and a few more before the weekend is out, he's probably playing those Rossi mind games and giving his rivals a false sense of security. sneaky sneaky.
Nicky Hayden has finally returned from a longer than usual summer break *cough* slacker *cough*. Oh that's right he's got a bung heel and it still in crutches aka is moving to Ducati next year and can't be stuffed.
And finally it looks like Michelin have finally gotten their acts together with the field evenly spread between the French and Japanese tyres. Also me personally think that it's maybe too little too late.
