Beautiful sunny weather met the MotoGP riders for this morning’s warm-up practice at Brno and with a little more rubber laid down on the Czech track and the final chance for some fine tuning to set-ups saw the 20 minute session go to Dani Pedrosa, who once again killed the field.
The Repsol Honda rider was only one to break the 1.
57 mark with his 1.
56.
675 leaving Jorge Lorenzo in second and a shy less than seven tenths adrift.
Ben Spies was third with Marco Simoncelli right on tail of the Yamaha rider.
A very unsatisfied looking Casey Stoner was fifth and the last rider to be within a second of Pedrosa with his 0.
909 difference.
Andrea Dovizioso was 6th followed by Alvaro Bautista who made a big jump forward after his 14th place in yesterday’s qualifying.
Closing out the top ten were Cal Crutchlow, Nicky Hayden and Colin Edwards, while Valentino Rossi was only 11th and almost 1.
8 seconds off pace and evidently that change in riding position didn’t work as well this morning.
