Lorenzo - Rossi Lead FP1

Usually, the first MotoGP Free Practice bears little resemblance to the final result, however, today in Tuscany, Lorenzo finished top of the board, 2/10ths faster than Rossi. Stoner finished third and Pedrosa fourth, setting setting the all-time MotoGP speed record in the process, at 349.3 kph. Colin Edwards finished 5th with Alex de Angelis rounding out the second row. Rossi has 7 consecutive wins at the Mugello circuit, so he's still the favourite for the win, but Lorenzo is going to do everything he can to break Rossi's track dominance. Pedrosa and Stoner won't be far behind. This could be a very tight race between Lorenzo and Rossi and with both riders probably riding right on the edge, there's a possibility that at least one of them will go off-track in the process. Both Pedrosa and Stoner have the ability to ruin Rossi's day. It's going to be a great race on a great track.
