Capirossi was not ready for his return to MotoGP, thus the team substituted Guintoli for the remainder of the weekend.

Heres how the qualifying session ended.

Stoner 1:21.681
Pedrosa 1:21.933
Lorenzo 1:21.944
Simoncelli 1:21.954
Spies 1:22.056
Dovizioso 1:22.157
Edwards 1:22.368
Hayden 1:22.388
De Puniet 1.22.503
Bautista 1:22.604
Barbera 1:22.676
Abraham 1:23.164
Elias 1:23.201
Aoyama 1:23.248
Rossi 1:23.320
Guintoli 1:24.707

Spies jumped from 6th to 4th with seconds left then got bumped back to 5th by Lorenzo.
Looks like Rossi is set to make another charge from the back, stay tuned! Looks like Pedrosa is back. Spies will need to finish in front of both Hayden and Pedrosa to gain the fifth spot in the championship! Great thread Papa as usual.

Great race, anyone catch it? Ole Ben waited a bit to long to get going but eventually finished infront of Simocelli. Think Ben might have been scared Simo would take him out.

When Ben was trying around the outside of Old Simo I thought that was it for him. One of the few Races he finished this year and without taking anyone with him, major improvement.

3 days and counting, I'm starting to twitch...
