Dani Pedrosa gave a strong signal will dominate the Malaysian GP this weekend. Because the Spaniard is undefeated since last Friday (21/10/2011) in two free practice, until qualifying on Saturday (10/22/2011) afternoon.
In the session to determine the starting position during the race tomorrow, Pedrosa clocked the best 2 minutes 01.462 seconds. She beat teammate at Repsol Honda, as well as 2011 world champion, Casey Stoner, who just 0.029 seconds adrift.
The results indicate that these qualifications Pedrosa and Stoner will be competing in the race at the Sepang Circuit on Sunday (23/10/2011) later. Nevertheless, they should not be complacent because of his teammate who is the third rider, Andrea Dovizioso, ready to deliver a threat after the start of the third order.
Colin Edwards brings a little surprise because it managed to undermine the dominance of the team with the specifications of the Honda factory engines. Tech 3 Yamaha satellite rider is in the fourth to beat the record time for Honda Gresini rider Marco Simoncelli, who had to settle for the start of the fifth.
The sixth position is occupied by Ducati rider, Nicky Hayden. The 2006 world champion beat his teammate Simoncelli, Hiroshi Aoyama, who finished better than Rizla Suzuki rider Alvaro Bautista, and seven times MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi (Ducati), who had had an accident in Curve 10, and Yamaha rider Tech 3, Cal Crutchlow, who completed the composition of the top 10.
Malaysian Grand Prix this season seems to be a bad weekend for Yamaha. Because their two drivers, Ben Spies and Katsuyuki Nakasuga, successively filling the rear most position. Spies, who forced himself to look at this race even if conditions are not fit 100 percent due to an accident at the Australian GP last week, will start from 16th, while Nakasuga, who replaced Jorge Lorenzo, located at number 17.
Yamaha lost Lorenzo who could not perform in-17 series to this. 2010 world champion is currently in post-operative recovery period of grafting the left hand ring finger due to an accident at the Australian GP warming. Lorenzo's participation in the ultimate series in Valencia, early November, is also still a question mark because it depends on the development of the injury recovery.
