Rossi at the top with a 1.42.2 and Cal was half a second behind. But the track was very hot
so I hope it cools down for the race. Cal is fast through sectors 2-3-4

That just about sums it up, what the hell are dorna playing at, right now you got 4 factory bikes and 2 manufacturers that can realistically win anything and a grid filled up with semi-production bikes to make up half the grid, its an absolute disaster and if its true they have told Suzuki the grid is full, well, that is just incredible to come out with such a ridiculous statement as that! CRT's are hopeless in this class and no one even cares where they finish.
They said that because suzuki won't commit to coming back full time, they don't want suzuki coming back for a year then leaving again when the bike isn't good enough

in practice today Nicky Hayden has beaten Catalunya top speed record on Desmosedici GP13 with 341.4 km/h, so nothing wrong with the speed it just needs to get round the corners.

What a lap from Cal who expected that then? I just hope he doesn't get a slow start. And well done to Pedro a new lap record
cal just gets better n better, just needs to sort his first few laps
now its Moto 2 come on scott

Cals lap was great, but somewhat overshadowed by Pedrosa being a full .6 of a second faster than everyone.
He'll probably start on the hard tyre and ride off into the distance. Yamaha are likely to go for the soft.

just read this on Toby Moodys twitter
"5 races, 6 quals in and HRC still on two engines used. Yamaha on four. One w/drawn for each. 33% into a season and Yam used 80% of engines."
this year there only aloud 5 engines for the year, not looking good for yamaha

If it's the same as F1 then they can get the old engines out again—it's not a case of once the engine has been replaced it cannot be used again.
In F1 they tend to use fresh engines for the faster tracks, especially Monza and Spa. There's nothing to stop them using an engine in Melbourne then getting it back out again for Hungary. It's just a case of prioritising the tracks for that miniscule extra power you get from a fresh engine.
Without looking it up, I'd imagine MotoGP rules are similar.
It's not like the Yamaha engines have been blowing up left, right and centre, so they'll just be managing the engine usage - if they have indeed used 8 engines, then each engine so far will have sod all mileage on it.

yeah in course they can reuse them its just a surprise they have used so many already.

I'm fairly sure it would have been planned out months back, each team working out how best to map out the season.
I`d say no because, you don't give them 5 engines at the start and they lock them, so if they find a fault or an upgrade they can do it for there remaining engines, now they having used 4 engines they can only modify the remaining one which limits them.

Cracking start from Lorenzo. I have a nasty expectation that he's going to walk away from here.
gezz bautista nearly took rossi out again
