Let it begin. 4 Hondas that can make podium. 2 Yamahas that can win. Endless Rossi drama because of the still ailing shoulder and unimpressive Ducati. It's going to be an awesome season. I'm pulling for Aoyama for the Japanese people.
 
Casey Stoner dominates first practice


Finally the season kicks off this weekend and i think its going to be a cracker.....:D

Casey Stoner carried his ominous pre-season form into the new MotoGP world championship season in Qatar tonight, the Aussie topping the timesheets at the end of opening free practice at the Losail International Circuit.
The Aussie, who dominated the final two winter tests in Malaysia and Qatar, finished with a best time of 1.55.752 to finish a massive 0.610s ahead of Spanish team-mate Dani Pedrosa.
The Repsol Honda rider, who is bidding for his fourth win in five years at the floodlit Losail International Circuit, needed just three laps to break into the 1.55s with a 1.55.920 putting him a massive 1.280s clear in the early stages.
He was the only rider to duck under the 1.56 barrier with Pedrosa’s best of 1.56.362 putting him second ahead of compatriot Hector Barbera on the Aspar Ducati.

Reigning world champion Jorge Lorenzo was unhappy with the set-up of his YZR-M1 machine during the two-night test in Doha earlier this week.
And the Spaniard appeared to struggle again tonight as he spent the majority of the session in sixth place and behind the pace of Texan team-mate Ben Spies.
Lorenzo was only seventh fastest at the end of the session and his quickest time of 1.56.586 was 0.834s off Stoner.
Spies was sixth fastesti having been dropped out of the top five in the dying moments by Valentino Rossi.
Rossi, who was only 13th in the Qatar test earlier this week after two crashes, posted his best lap of 1.56.749 on his 19th and final lap to finish 0.727s adrift of Stoner. Compatriot Marco Simoncelli was fourth.

British rider Cal Crutchlow rode through the pain barrier to finish in a respectable 14th position.
The Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider lost the tip of his left little finger only three days ago after trapping his hand under the handelbar of his YZR-M1 machine at Turn 10 during the recent test.
The 2009 World Supersport champion ended with a best time of 1.57.429 to finish ahead of fellow rookie Karel Abraham, factory Suzuki rider Alvaro Bautista and reigning Moto2 world champion Toni Elias.
He was only 0.063s slower than Loris Capirossi and just over 0.5s from the team-mate Colin Edwards in 10th.

Casey Stoner continues dominant form

By Matthew Birt -MCN
MotoGP
18 March 2011 16:04

Casey Stoner continued his unrivalled domination of the Qatar MotoGP weekend into a second night this evening, the Aussie comfortably heading the timesheets at the end of second practice at a windswept Losail International Circuit.
The Australian was typically fast immediately out of the garage, his second lap putting him under the 1.56 barrier, which only Repsol team-mate Dani Pedrosa managed to achieve in the 45-minute session.

Stoner’s third lap of the Doha circuit was a 1.55.457 that remained unchallenged for the remainder of the session. The 2007 world champion ended 0.397s clear of Spaniard Pedrosa with his best time 0.3s quicker than the 1.55.752 he managed on the opening night.
Under the spectacular Losail International Circuit floodlights, Pedrosa was in the shadow of his team-mate yet again and like last night he had to settle for second place. He clocked a best time of 1.55.854.

Factory Yamaha rider Ben Spies stopped it being a complete HRC romp by edging out Andrea Dovizioso for fourth spot.
The Texan set a best time of 1.56.116 to finish a further 0.262s behind Pedrosa in third.
Reigning world champion Jorge Lorenzo was fifth quickest, the Spaniard finishing just 0.039s clear of Colin Edwards.

Cal Crutchlow had a morale-boosting second session, the British rider claiming his best result to date on the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 YZR-M1 machine.
He was as high as seventh at one stage and finished eighth with a best time of 1.56.518 - the first time he's finished inside the top ten in official practice or testing.
His time was nearly a second quicker than last night, as he continues to ride in considerable pain having lost the top of his left little finger in a crash during the two-night test session in Qatar earlier this week.

The 2009 World Supersport champion edged out Valentino Rossi by 0.014s, with the Italian only able to clock a best time of 1.56.532.
That was 1.075s behind Stoner and marginally slower than the time that secured him fifth spot last night.
Toni Elias continues to be the surprise straggler in the field, the LCR Honda looking horribly out-of-sorts to finish with a best time of 1.58.801.
That was nearly 3.5s behind Stoner and 1.118s behind rookie Karel Abraham in 16th.

Stoner did a 1:55.0 in practice 3, 0.15 ahead of Pedrosa. Everybody else is in the dust cloud. Dovi off by 0.8, followed by JLo and Spies.

Factory Ducatis are behind TWO privateer Ducatis.

Bautista fell off near the end and fractured his lemur. Suzuki are now looking for a replacement rider because their reserve rider John Hopkins is in the USA.

Tony Elias looked very slow.
 
This is exactly what happened last year, Stone dominated practise and everyone wasd thinking "How much is he going to win the championship by this year, he can't be stopped!" Then, 3 laps in he bit the dust and his race was over. He will most likely take pole today, but I'm still not convinced he will take the win on Sunday night.

Repsol Honda new boy Casey Stoner topped off a perfect weekend at Qatar by taking victory in the first MotoGP race of 2011.
Team-mate Dani Pedrosa got the holeshot, only for Stoner to take the lead after a couple of laps.

Pedrosa got past Stoner again and looked to be too fast for the Aussie at one point, but Stoner managed to get back past his team-mate and gap the Spaniard.

Reigning World champion Jorge Lorenzo then had Pedrosa in his sights, and after swapping positions several times managed to hold his position to finish second, with Pedrosa in third.

Hondas completed the top five, with Andrea Dovizioso and Marco Simoncelli in fourth and fifth respectively.

Ducati rider Valentino Rossi finished in seventh place, having battled with Ben Spies for most of the race, who finished sixth.

The ridiculously small grid is so disappointing this year, will only be following this season through news articles from now on.

It takes only 2 to have a great race, but there's about 7/8 riders who have race winning machinery this year, compared to about 4 in F1 and WRC. If Moto GP isn't your fancy, watch Moto2 - the best racing I have ever watched!
 
Moto2 is indeed insane. A grid of 39 with 10-12 riders who can finish just about anywhere.

Ducati limped behind through most of the last season as well. It was very late in last season (Aragon?) where they picked up the pace and Stoner started to win again. This year they have a lot of personnel shuffled with Stoner and his engineers out and Rossi and his engineers in. Rossi is still quite hurt and I think that hurt Ducati in preseason development. They will get better and probably even win, but it's not clear to me whether Rossi will be a title contender.

Lorenzo wins wet crash fest

What an action packed race that was, fantastic stuff..........:D

By Liam Marsden -MCN
03 April 2011 13:51

Reigning world champion Jorge Lorenzo has won the Jerez MotoGP in wet conditions by 19 seconds ahead of compatriot Dani Pedrosa in a race which only had 12 finishers.
Casey Stoner got the holeshot and pulled away on the first lap, with Jorge Lorenzo in second, but neither rider was able to stop Italian Marco Simoncelli taking the lead and opening up a gap.
Meanwhile Valentino Rossi was on a charge for the front, running faster than the leaders. Rossi attempted to pass Stoner into turn one on lap eight, but lost the front on his Ducati and collected the Honda rider.

Stoner was unable to restart the race, but Rossi remounted to finish a remarkable fifth.
Despite having a commanding lead, Simoncelli also lost the front at turn one a few laps later to hand Lorenzo the lead. But the action wasn't over there.
Ben Spies managed to pull back several seconds on Dani Pedrosa, who was now second, and after a few laps overtake the Spaniard, only to crash out several corners later.
This moved Colin Edwards up into third place, only for Edwards to run into the gravel at turn one, also ending his race prematurely. This in turn pushed Hayden on to the podium, who kept it upright to score his first podium on a Ducati.
Cal Crutchlow was riding extremely well and at one stage was upto fifth, until he too lowsided at turn one, but the Brit remounted and brought his Tech 3 Yamaha home in eighth.

AMazing race, best in about 2 years.. everylap had something happen in it, couldn't take my eyes off it. Rossi was a bit unlucky to lose the front and Stoner was even more unlucky to be hit off, but amazing race!
 
Must agree what an awsome race for a change its been as dull as f1 racing recently, crutchlow was unlucky he could have had a podium if he stayed on, saying that it could have been anyones lol.

Stoners comment to rossi was a bit cheeky, i'm sure stoner took out rossi a few years ago doing the same thing.
