For Casey Stoner on the first long fast is over, stop the bad streak of 11 races without a pole. Now the Motorland Aragon is the time to stop the sequence of victories that has gone missing from the penultimate race of the 2009 season: the restored confidence in the Ducati Desmosedici GP10 this weekend seems to be right, at least according to the same 2007 World Champion.

“In the last race weekend we tried different things to make the bike more competitive, without ever being able to make decisive progress, whereas here it seems that we have found something, “says Casey Stoner. “We have changed a bit ‘weight distribution and this gave me more grip and more confidence. Maybe it’s just the bike that fits well with this track, but in any event, we are happy to have made the pole for the first time in Qatar.

I also like to drive new circuit is always exciting where you have not already tried a million times. We wait to see how you put the race to see if I can be with other people, because this season there has already happened to realize less than has proof but we feel good in the race and I’m looking forward to tomorrow.

Casey Stoner does not win the Grand Prix of Malaysia last year, a long fasting in 13 races, the longest since he started to win in MotoGP.

He wanted the front row but the fourth time in qualifying Alcaniz is not a result to be discarded for the race tomorrow to Nicky Hayden. Quick all weekend with his Ducati Desmosedici, Ducati rider feels confident and ready to achieve a positive result for the whole team.

“Overall I can say that was a good day, “says Hayden. “We had two dry practice sessions where we managed to improve the bike. Points to the first row, but we are still far away, we must be satisfied because the team is working very well so that me and Casey are in the first four. ”

Before thinking about the race the 2006 World Champion has shown a little background on preparing for this Grand Prix of Aragon.

“With the simulator we have in Ducati reference was provided lap of 1’49″ and a pole was 1’48 “9: unbelievable, it means that the company is working very well by each of the tasks to perfection! Tomorrow I hope to repay them with a good result we want at this time. “

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.

He expected more out of third place Casey Stoner at Brno, but rain in the warm up did not enable him to refine the development of their Ducati Desmosedici GP10 for the race. With un’anteriore too “loaded” the 2007 World Champion Australia risked falling into the first few laps where he lost too much ground, can not worry enough for the fugitive Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa.

“Honestly I can not be satisfied with this third place, even if the podium is always nice, “says Casey Stoner. “Yesterday we thought we had found the right way, the set-up was good and we missed a few areas for improvement in Warm Up: unfortunately, the rain allowed us to make these improvements and the race has seen. ”

Although not quite in place at the level of development of their Ducati Desmosedici GP10, Stoner finished third in the league going in the same position.

“At the beginning of the race, I almost fall on several occasions, we were overloaded on the fore, but a little everyone seemed to have this problem so that Dovizioso fell in front of me and I managed to avoid it. Only in the final situation has improved, but was now too far away from Pedrosa and Lorenzo. I want to win again for me and the Ducati, but there is still much work to do, “said the 2007 champion.
