2.Melandri 31.55
3.Pedrosa 31.80
4.Rossi 31.93
5.De Puniet 31.99

I thought they may have gone quicker than that. Maybe they are all just foxing a bit till the last Qualifying session???

These guys get around PI in 31 secs?

outright race lap record for GP bikes is held by Melandri
1.30.33 (according to Phillip Is Circuit records)

given yesterdays temps (or lack of)
a 1.31 is not shabby

cheers

I was having a dig at Strika for forgetting the 1 minute bit
Why aren't you at the track?
I'm sitting here waiting for coverage to start

I may not bother even tomorrow! I'm not a big fan of the GP as far as the organisers go. It's just a rip off in my mind and not being able to access the outfield on your bike like you can at the Supers and every other bike event, shits me no end! It pretty much means picking a spot and staying put, or doing 6klm laps on the hoofers! So unless my mates manage to convince me tomorrow, I'll prolly kick back and watch it on Fox! Far better to kick back in my lounge room with some nibblies, drinks and a few well constructed spliffs and enjoy the warmth, comfort and coverage! Plus it's hard to spark a spliff in 30 knot winds!

But, I may join some mates for a three day run up to the snowies nad back Monday,Tuesday and Wednesday so at least I will experience some aspects of the GP!

I thought the Doctor had it sewn up until that last-minute scorcher from Dani !!!!!!
