Lorenzo denies Toseland for debut pole!

Jorge Lorenzo and James Toseland made an explosive start to their MotoGP careers by qualifying first and second for the season-opening Qatar Grand Prix, as Yamaha and Michelin swept the front row ahead of Sunday's inaugural night race.

And it was satellite Tech 3 rider Toseland who led most of the floodlit session, the reigning double World Superbike champion fitting an early qualifying tyre after one-third of the hour - a smart move given the ever sinking track temperatures.

1. Lorenzo
2. Toseland
3. Edwards
4. Stoner
5. de Puniet
6. Hayden
7. Rossi
8. Pedrosa
9. Dovizioso

So what time they will air it on ASTRO?

1.00am on ESPN I think.

for MotoGP the time is 4am..
Nice one by Yamaha and Michelin where top 3 spot of qualifying taken by them..Lorenzo

who is this guy? Jorge Lorenzo
never heard of him

Jorge Lorenzo...250cc champ in 2006 & 2007.
Dani Pedrosa...250cc champ in 2004 & 2005.
But when Pedrosa joined MotoGP...did not win
Let's see if Lorenzo can break the jinx.

MotoGP is at 4.00am lah
Cannot wait... ...ZZzzzz...

Will watch if there's a repeat.

Hope Stoner will win.

Results Qatar Motogp

1. Casey Stoner
2. Jorge Lorenzo
3. Dani Pedrosa
4. Andrea Dovisiozo
5. Valentino Rossi
6. James Toseland
7. Colin Edwards


Overall, a very very strong performance from Yamaha this time out. Even the rookies are on a rampage. 3 rookies in top 7 (lorenzo, dovisiozo,toseland)

Not much straight line speed difference. But lorenzo who was in a comfortable 2nd, just couldn't hang with Casey. Stoner was crunching out consistent fastest laps for like 10 laps in the race towards the end. Amazing stuff

Honda is likely going to suffer again this season.

Stoner starts title defence with a win

Worried for a while there when Stoner was in 6th position.

Everybody was neck to neck.
Rossi with his new Yamaha + Bridgestone tyres looks menacing.
Both him and Stoner was on medium slick front and rear.

After 50% of the race...Stoner starts to fly.
Congrats Jorge Lorenzo for his successful debut

Great start from 2007 World Champion, Casey Stoner

Hopefully same goes to the 2007 Formula One World Champion this weekend

Forza...

ASTRO is the only way we can get LIVE coverage...sports especially.
