MotoGP - Laguna Seca 2008
I think its time to get over the who's better arguments that are going on lately and focus on the racing so I'm starting a laguna race thread.
No 125 or 250s this weekend.
This is one of the few circuits Rossi never won. Stoner is looking to continue his great form, Pedrosa has been passed fit to race.
2 US wildcard/replacement riders will be looking to take advantage of their track knowledge
The weather is going to be sunny all weekend.
Hopefully there will be some close racing
Stoner is on another planet (as Rossi occasionally says)
LAGUNA SECA, California (AFP) — Reigning world champion Casey Stoner of Australia captured his fifth straight pole position Saturday in qualifying for Sunday's US MotoGP.
Stoner, who dominated the free practice on Friday, clocked the fastest qualifying time of 1min 20.700sec.
Stoner, winner here last year, had broken his track record in every practice, and he did it again in qualifying after just nine laps.
His eventual pole position record improved the previous qualifying record by more than 1.5sec.
Italian Valentino Rossi, the Yamaha rider who currently leads the overall standings, was second quickest in 1:21.147, and American Nicky Hayden (Honda) was third-fastest with a time of 1:21.430.
