MotoGP FP2 Lap Analysis

For the record, I've excluded in and out laps and any lap that was
significantly slower than the average (3-4 seconds off the rider's average
pace). Despite a 4th row start I'm betting Edwards will be on the box. His
primary bike engine went sour 1/2 way through QP2 and he was balked by
Hoffman in the 3rd sector on his flying lap. His first two sector times were
very close to pole pace, despite being on his backup bike that has the old
chassis.

Btw, what happend to Rossi? He had his fastest at lap 16 but completed 22 as
most of the others (or 21), but they of course all have they best times at
lap 21 or 22.

In case I didn't make it clear the chart is of the 2nd free practice, not of
final qualifying. I thought it would make a better comparison of likely race
times.

Beyond that, I don't know what Rossi's up to. I haven't seen any of the
sessions, just the final times.
