Speed has the info on the first day of qualifying in Qatar. Looks like Nicky Hayden is struggling, and Rossi is, well, Rossi. I’m hoping for a great competitive season that goes down to the wire like last year.
The 2007 MotoGP season officially got underway today, with riders undertaking their first practice and qualifying laps for the curtain-raising Commercialbank Grand Prix Of Qatar.
Valentino Rossi and Colin Edwards put in a magnificent showing at the Losail International Circuit in the afternoon session, with the Fiat Yamaha riders leading the way on day one.
On track with his new blue and white livery for the first time, Rossi took the session by the scruff of the neck early on, laying down a time of 1’56.464 that remained unchallenged. His team-mate was close behind, with early morning pacesetter Edwards just over three tenths of a second slower than the five time MotoGP World Champion.
