Laguna qualifing!!

What a session, I watched it all live and it was a real entertaining
event, Hayden is a star, he really shone today no question, he has been
the man to beat all weekend and he never faltered, well done Nicky.

And of course a big well done to Rossi, he delivered at least 3 fast
paced laps securing 2nd spot, defied all the critics who said he'd be
conservative this weekend, a real champion.

However if we are going for consistancy through out the last 3 days then
Biaggi, Bayliss and Barros are strong contenders and maybe Edwards too,
these guys are all so close it dosent really matter.

This race is going to be hard to call, but you have to back Hayden, he
has been the man this weekend, Rossi second and who knows 3rd, I predict
a good race though with Hayden and Rossi battling it out a way ahead of
the rest.

Bring it on.

Comments I have read from Edwards indicate that he is very
confident for the race today. I guess having confidence is a
good thing, but I really do not think he has a chance.

Rossi never looked that strong in the qualifying session
until he put the Q tires on. So I wonder how good his
race times will be. If Nick can keep calm and not
make any mistakes, I think he will be very hard to beat.
I would really like to see Nick, Bayliss or even Edwards
get their first GP win this weekend, but I think Nicky is
the only one with a good shot at it.

 

I think he may suprise us... I read that Collin was focusing
on race-setup during Q, and not so much on grid position.

So who knows?

I hope Collin or Nicky will win this one, but I fear that
Rossi may do it again.

Experience at Laguna is a very big deal, which is why you're seeing
those who've been there before qualifying so well. Rossi will learn
what he needs to know and by the end of the race the results will look
very familiar. I expect Hayden or Edwards to be 2nd.

I don't win betting on the ponies, either.
