MotoGP Laguna Seca - Jorge Lorenzo in pole position

Campionul mondial en-titre Jorge Lorenzo (Yamaha Factory Racing) a fost cel mai rapid pe circuitul Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, in calificarile Marelui Premiu al Statelor Unite.

Lorenzo a gasit resursele fizice si psihice pentru a reveni dupa o cazatura serioasa in ultima sesiune de antrenamente libere. Majorcanul a parcurs turul de circuit in 1 minut 21 secunde 202 miimi, fiind urmat, la 72 de miimi de secunda, de Casey Stoner (Repsol Honda) si la mai putin de doua zecimi de secunda de Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda), cei trei urmand sa ia startul, in aceasta ordine, din prima linie a grilei de start in cursa de duminica.

Al patrulea clasat a fost Ben Spies (Yamaha Factory Racing), urmat de Marco Simoncelli (San Carlo Honda Gresini) si de cel de-al treilea reprezentat al teamului Repsol Honda, Andrea Dovizioso.

Oarecum neasteptat, Valentino Rossi a reusit sa incheie calificarile pe pozitia a saptea, aceasta fiind cea mai buna clasare a campionului italian in week-end-ul american.
