End of a long fast. After 12 races Casey Stoner back in pole position, a result that he lacked even the onset of the season in Qatar facing a difficult championship, to be forgotten, pending transition of its change of brand for 2011. With his Ducati Desmosedici GP10 has been found well to Motorland Aragon: best time in the wet yesterday afternoon, just this morning in optimal climatic conditions. The next step was the pole position this time has not escaped Iridium 2007, to reach a lap of 1’48 “942 like a thunderclap in the fighting ending of formal qualifications.

At the 20th career pole in MotoGP, Stoner trimmed to 3 / 10 Jorge Lorenzo, left to watch … especially the last (fast) sector where Casey made the difference. The leader of the world has recovered from a difficult morning, leaving behind Dani Pedrosa also, this time for his mistake on the last lap useful when it came off after a strong reference in the first two best lap of the circuit of Alcaniz. Okay for the driver of the Honda (and will remain for the next two years alongside his Stoner), especially considering the pace established in the practice sessions.

The challenge will be wide open with some uncertainty about the weather and the role of Valentino Rossi, 7th on the grid equaling worst result of the season at Indianapolis. A real “shot back” allowed him to gain half a second on his last lap certainty of finding the entire third row also tricolor with Andrea Dovizioso and Marco Simoncelli, but still behind Nicky Hayden, Ben Spies and Randy found a De Puniet from 4th to 6th on the grid.

Complete the top ten Hector Barbera, Alvaro Bautista can not do better than the 12th time with the only deployed Suzuki, Marco Melandri after tests in the wet to say the least convincing is found only at 14 ° in an unrecognizable Hiroshi Aoyama and Mika Kallio , 2 “from the top 5. For them it is ready the rain dance.

MotoGP discovers Motorland Aragon, but the state of grace of Dani Pedrosa. Two consecutive victories assets between Indianapolis and Misano Adriatico, super start Alcaniz where he also traveled in the first practice session under the wall dell’1’51 “arriving at a best time of 1’50″ 506, then approached by a 1’50 “682 clear sign that the pace is not hard to find the official HRC rider yet for the next two years.

Pedrosa has created a vacuum in a circuit known last July with a Honda CBR1000RR road, pulling the novel pair of 4 / 10 consisting of Nicky Hayden (2 ° to + 0 “411) and Jorge Lorenzo (3 ° to + 0 “422). The main difference the three-time World Champion with his Honda RC212V can do in the last two curves in areas that combine sequence and the long straight, where special problems without traveling over 320 km / h.

Hayden and Lorenzo managed to limit the damage in the final minutes of the session, certainly not Valentino Rossi on track last week at Alcaniz with a Yamaha R1, now in a “second from the top seeing preceded by his illustrious predecessor Ducati Casey Stoner fourth, and Marco Simoncelli 5 ° as well as the best drivers on the track without any reference to Motorland Aragon.

Rossi postings that take on texture, with Hector Barbera seventh rule by none other than Andrea Dovizioso future still uncertain and the two Tech 3 riders arm in arm, with Colin Edwards 9th followed by Ben Spies. Marco Melandri for the eleventh position, Aleix Espargaro a fall on cold tires (yet?) the dynamics very clear with the highside at turn 2: no physical problem so to conclude with the 14th time this afternoon hoping to improve in second session in a renewed program of the MotoGP in Aragon.

Solution to the spectacular failure of MotoGP? Promoting the skills to compete and vice versa. Even in Misano Adriatico hunting from pole has reserved final 10 minutes of the session and exciting, especially the last attempt explosion of “red helmets for Rossi, Lorenzo and especially Dani Pedrosa, fourth pole position of the season (35th in MotoGP 17 MotoGP) in two separate occasions, even managing to stop the clock sull’1’33 “948, split the vintage. Making a difference especially in T4 by the “Wagon” to the pit straight, the three-time world champion has tamed his Honda RC212V to the pole a valuable reassembling the group from “Fantastic 4″ MotoGP.

Pedrosa, but to follow Lorenzo, Stoner and Rossi. All there with uncertainties in anticipation of the race on pace (Pedrosa and Lorenzo not far), choice of tires (all with the “soft”, only Rossi very active with the “hard”), made the bike for a race that Misano is difficult prospect. Not like in Indianapolis, at least for Jorge Lorenzo who wants to put a spoke in the wheels to prevent his fellow classical feel of childbirth, I and go on the run.

Attempt to insert in the collision for Casey Stoner, the third with a slip of the assets of the curve “Rio”, but can bring the Ducati Desmosedici in the front row at the expense of Valentino Rossi, from the choice in contrast with regard to tires, by the excellent growth more than it can highlight the lap and continued to be recovered than half a second pair of heads.

No surprise to find Ben Spies in the fifth position, a well-deserved applause for Randy De Puniet who basically 6 weeks from injury at the Sachsenring is sixth on the grid with the Honda LCR team. As often happens Andrea Dovizioso has lost the right train “in qualifying, only eighth after good practice, before the order to Marco Simoncelli, Marco Melandri and Loris Capirossi Suzuki pays 1″ 1 from the peak to a grille starting compact, but that race can hardly surprises with the usual suspects up front.
