Re: (Newk)
Qualifying will look VERY Different!
If KRJ keeps it near the top, I would be happy! His father has worked hard and hopefully it all comes together his year!
Bridgestone Needs to get on the ball with the tire selection for the race!
Go Kawasaki!!!

Re: (rainmanEK)
KRJ would really like it if it rains..... however the current location is not quite condusive to that occuring . Hopefully his early speed won't be like Suzuki at every race last year. Quick initially, then midpack by the time the big dance comes around.

Re: (Brian*E30)
I figure the KR211V will get into the top ten for sure. A top five would be pushing it though.
And how about Stoner? He looked awfully fast in Jerez after missing a good bit of the preseason with his should injury. I hope he can fight at the front this Sunday.

Re: Qatar GP (Practice & Qualifying times) NO RACE SPOILERS (JMU R1)
What about the 250's and 125's 
I want to know how Bradley is doing in his second GP race of the year at a circuit he has never seen before?
edit 2:12 in FP1 and 2:10 in QP1 cool. 20th so far.

Re: Qatar GP (Luke)
We rarely even get the 250 races so that's why no one here really posts about them or the 125's.

If Honda doesn't make one of their guys take one for the team and try to knock VR out of the race.. I doubt Capirossi will win again.

Re: Qatar GP (JMU R1)
This has been one crazy season as far as qualifying times. Last season it was pretty much the same people in the same qualifying positions. This year its complete different every race. Is this race sunday?

Re: Qatar GP (yimmy)
Race is Saturday, televised Sunday. Actually last years practice times (which these are) were always jumbled up, usually with Hopkins around the top, then most fell by the wayside when it came time to qualify.

Re: Qatar GP (Brian*E30)
i think with rossi going down and finishing so far back in race 1, he is gonna be riding like a man on fire in the next few races. i feel sorrow for the rest of the field because it is going to out of their hands for a few weeks.

Re: Qatar GP (Brian*E30)
looks like The Stoner kid is the Man, He is on the pole with Capirossie on his tail!
Hayden is 4th, Im glad he beat out Pedrosa!
Wheres KRJ? Sad, But I knew this would happen!
Team Green plans on making a hard charge from the rear, This seems to be the game plan!
