Mixed Conditions and Results At LeMans Free Practice

A rain-interrupted First Free Practice saw Divizioso finish top of the board. On the pace behind Andrea were Stoner, De Puniet, Vermuelen, Pedrosa, Rossi, Lorenzo and Melandri. The forecast for the weekend is continued mixed conditions so this round of the MotoGP could be a bit of a crap shoot. Now that it's obvious that Melandri still knows how to ride a bike and Hayden can't ride the red bike either, the problems Marco had on the Ducati must've been largely to do with the bike. Ducati has apparently come to the same conclusion and has hired Troy Bayliss as a developnent rider to try and sort out the GP9 setup. They should give one to Rossi and his team ... they'd figure it out.
