This morning’s warm-up practice at Sachsering confirmed that Casey Stoner is fast, that Jorge Lorenzo has a hammering pace to stay with him and Dani Pedrosa’s only problem will be if his shoulder can hold up for the 30 lap race.
Alvaro Bautista was fourth and bettering his yesterday’s qualifying before taking a big crash at turn 8.
Marco Simoncelli took 5th ahead of Ben Spies, Andrea Dovizioso, Nicky Hayden, Colin Edwards and Randy De Puniet who rounded out the top ten.
Valentino Rossi who yesterday qualified in 16th managed to shave off some very scanty tenths of second and finish 11th following his team mate Hayden in the final minutes of the session, but it will definitely be an uphill race for the Italian.
