Stoner's At It Again

Friday's late night MotoGP Free Practice 1 had Stoner in front by nearly half a second, then Rossi ahead of Edwards by a similar amount, and Lorenzo another 4/10s behind that. That's Ducati, Yamaha, Yamaha, Yamaha. Pedrosa's back, finishing 18th, but it's only first practice so the results aren't necessarily any indication of how the race will go. Then again, unless someone falls, it's not likely Stoner and Rossi will miss the podium. Good result from Colin Edwards ... didn't really like him that much when he raced WSB, but every year I appreciate his solid, no-nonsense racing more and more. No muss, no fuss ... he just goes out and gets the job done. His 160mph bailout from a flaming Aprilia Cube in 2003 has also got to be one the greatest get-offs of all time.
