AE breaks Stoners track record using the super soft tires.  In other news, MM is still fast

When is he not? Anyway, AE might be able to get his bike up there during qualy, but unless they can make that super soft last, he should be passed very quickly during the race.

Or he'll crash.

Aleix has been a little disappointing on race day.

Anyone know how qualifying went?

MM is unstoppable! 

8!

Missed the first 30-odd minutes of the broadcast.

Some riders started in pit lane?

Details appreciated. 

Rossi was the only rider that mattered that started from pit lane because he went out on the warm up lap on slicks and decided to change over to rains (good move). They all then went from rains to slicks later in the race. Weird race.

Has anyone heard the excuses for Lorenzo yet?

Lorenzo admitted he was scared.
Pity Rossi blew it on tire choice, if he hadn't started from pit row he could easily have gotten a podium

Lorenzo interview was very honest.  Lost confidence due to past rain accident memory.

Rossi was great and the gamble didn't payoff and had to start from pit.  He could've fought with front guys if it weren't the case.

MM - what else can be said

Dovi did a decent job at keeping up with MM at least for a little while. That was truly a weird race.

MM was brilliant as usual and in a class by himself. I was trying to think of a way to even the field and give the other riders a chance, then it came to me... make him ride the Ducati
