Lorenzo's At It Again

Lorenzo captured pole position during today's MotoGP qualifying, leaving Rossi less than 2/10ths of a second behind and back on the second row. This is the first time Valentino has not qualified on the first row at Mugello ... ever. Joining Jorge on the front row are Stoner and Capirossi. Joining Vale on the second row are de Puniet and Colin Edwards. Third row is Dovizioso, Pedrosa and Elias. Interestingly, the highest top speed (341.988kph) in qualifying was set by Mika Kallio (Ducati) who had the slowest lap times ... seems they may have the setup a little out of wack ... no point going fast down the straights if you can't get round the corners. Tomorrow's winner? It wouldn't surprise me if Lorenzo takes it. Rossi is seriously motivated now that he missed pole position and will most likely be on the podium, one way or the other. Watch for a rocketship start by Pedrosa as he tries to leap to the front group from the third row.
