Hang on a sec... only two Bridgestone bikes in the top 10, at 7th and 10th? Wonder how Vale feels now....

Can You Say Qualifying Tires?

Vale went home early with a painful hand and the whole top 9 was on Quali rubber. JT was surprised at the amount of grip he had suddenly.
App. Dani set his time on the 2007 bike, Hayden set his on the 2008 bike. Not quite sure what that was about other than Dani proving he goes best on mini-bikes...
It would have been nice to see what Stoner could have done and to see where the Hondas really are.

The Ducati with Stoner on it is the standard to judge all the others by. I have a lot of confidence that the racing will be closer in '08 than it was in '07.

Honda has already shown that they are working VERY hard to get the title back. At least as far as the Repsol team is concerned.

They've produced a new motorcycle which is already running near the top in testing. Give them some more time to refine it and one has to like their chances of regaining the title.

Looking at the field, I've got to think that there are really only 4, possibly 5, riders with a legitimate shot at the championship. Stoner, of course, as well as the Repsol riders and Valentino look to me to be the contenders next season.

Stoner has speed and scads of confidence in himself, the bike, and the tires. Rossi is, well Rossi, and you can never count him out no matter what's going on. Hayden was by all accounts completely frustrated and embarrassed by his results in '07 and will be looking to make up for his lost year. Not to mention that he's in the final year of his HRC contract. Pedrosa is fast and talented. He's clearly got the might of HRC behind him. He needs to show that he can develop a bike and display a willingness to mix it up with the others if he wants to earn the title.
