Honda kini memmin atas yamaha, beberapa poin dengan menempatkan Pedrosa di urutan pertma disusul Lorenzo. Jelas ini memunculkan rasa tersendiri bagi Lorenzo sebagai juara bertahan.  So, bila mau tetp juara, hanya satu opsi, salip Honda. Nah tantangan terseindiri ini tampaknya sudah mulai di persiapkan Yamaha, dimana FP 1 Lorenzo memimpin, sementara FP 2 Rossi memimpin disusul Lorenzo, wewe Yamaha mulai tebar ancaman.

Rossipun bilang: ‘We need more to stay in front’.

Ya, yang jelas nampaknya Rossi terlihat enjoy di trek ini dan ada asa untuk come bacak. Lihat beberapa statmen Rossi berikut:

“I love this track, it’s one of the best, and the M1 is always great here in Catalunya,” Rossi told motogp.com. “I’m very happy to be at the front, but it’s just Friday and we have a lot of work to do. We have to decide which tyre to use and in some sections we need to improve for tomorrow but, anyway, it’s a great tasting of the first position.

“This afternoon we went between the hard and the soft tyres and I did a good lap, but to stay in front tomorrow I have to go faster.”

So banyak berharap bahwa race akan seru, bukan sekedar touring hahahahaha, berikut hasil FP 1 dan 2.
