Dovi on pole!

That's pretty ominous, I'd like to see him get a win.  [beer]

He said his race pace was looking good too, so we'll see how that shakes out.  He just needs to keeps clear of The Ben this time around, though I'd love to see a rehash of that battle from last round.

That would be some good stuff.

Like Laverty/Sofuoglu.  [popcorn]

Would be nice to see him get a win, but I don't see him consistant enough over race distance to pull it off.  Lorenzo was just reeling off 47's in QP.  Dovi only had a couple, Rossi a bit more consistant, and Stoner his usual 8 laps or whatever he does with one good one.  I'd like to see him do it, but I think its unlikely.

+1. Anyone else find it weird that for a race in Japan, there were visit Spain sponsor boards everywhere.

Awesome race. I hope Stoner keeps doing well and takes care of that bike and gets it ready for Rossi next year. I'm quite confident that Jorge is still the second best rider in the MotoGP and look forward to next year since I don't think he's a good enough developmental rider to make up for the loss of Furusawa, Rossi and Burgess. People have to face the fact that it was those three men made the bike what it is today. Lorenzo was gifted the result of incredible dedication by three of the greatest minds in racing ever. He's going to have a hard enough time keeping Ben behind him to be worried about winning a championship. I'm going to call it and say that just like Stoner this year is Jorge Lorenzo's fifteen minutes of fame.

As sad as it is to see Rossi struggle on a bum leg and shoulder I think at this point in his career it's good motivation. If he was considering retiring after last year I'm sure now it's the farthest thing from his mind. At least until he takes the Ducati to the top once again and solidifies his place as the greatest of all time.

No disrespect for Jorge, I've just been watching GP for long enough to have heard this all before. He's the next king, lol. The same thing was said about Pedrosa and Stoner.  [roll]

I'm a huge fan of Rossi, don't like Stoner much, but I do like Pedro.  That being said, Lorenzo is the best rider we've seen since Rossi joined the grid.  If you've been watching GP for "long enough" you should see he's clearly option "1a" when it comes to best racecraft in the field.

Lorenzo, while crash prone, had an amazing first couple seasons, despite commonly riding through heavy injuries.  Rossi will hang around a bit longer and could very well have another championship in him, but Lorenzo is nearing his abilities as a racer and arguably a better qualifier.  He also has the arrogance and youthful spirit that a certain man in bright yellow had when he entered the premier class.
