[dicknose]

Stoner has been fastest in all the free practice sessions and qualifying.
Still will be intestering to see if he can keep the same sort of pace up in the race.
Pedrosa was a bit of a surprise - he was slow in the 3rd practive but he was fast the rest of the time.
Hayden is looking like he has slipped back again. Heading to be another Kenny Roberts Jr - winning the championship and then never winning anything again.
