He looked after qualifying in fourth place as a maximum after it in the morning in training, not much progress was recorded. "In the afternoon we did a few laps on used tires and the pace was decent. On new tires we could go a little faster, hoping that we on the last exit still make up one position, so that we are in the second row, but the rain came and I had to settle for seventh place, "said Bautista.
Stoner, Lorenzo and Pedrosa out of reach
Still, he saw the way forward as not too far, at least the. Up to fourth Casey Stoner the Spaniard saw anyway go on another planet, Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa he considered it out of reach. "Against the others but we can exist and to fight for place four or five. Start is important, then we'll see," said the Honda satellite rider.
The third best rider Michele Pirro had CRT, at least in the special classification better prospects than his Gresini team-mate. Before him, the two ART Aprilias of Randy de Puniet and Aleix Espargaro had been conducted in Australia are very strong move. Therefore, grid position 14 was also the best possible view of Pirro, said he was disappointed not to have come to the 1:32 he times. "We still have some movement at the rear, must get rid of the we, because I slowed down on corner exit., I am confident that the guys bring in the warm-up a few solutions and then the tires in the race play a big role. I ready, my third place among the CRTs to defend."
