Fiat Yamaha tops in MotoGP qualifying in Mugello. |

Fiat Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo stole the spotlight from teammate Valentino Rossi by swooping to the pole position, while Rossi slipped off the front row at Mugello for the first time since 1999 by qualifying fourth in pursuit of his eighth consecutive victory in the Italian Grand Prix.
For Lorenzo, it was his second pole of the season in the most important race on Rossi's calendar. Lorenzo wasted his first pole-in Jerez-by crashing in front of his first home grand prix, but he believes he has the pace to stay near the front on Sunday. He also said he might have been faster but not for problems near the end of the lap.
"I'm really happy about this because it's a great pole position and I'm really excited to be starting from the front at Mugello," he said. "During the session we had some problems in T4 and we still need to try to improve a bit in that section, but I am fast with both types of tire and in the end I was able to do one very fast lap. My race pace is good and I think that I have the possibility to fight with Valentino (Rossi) tomorrow; in my mind he is still the favorite here. My target is to get a good start and then try to stay with Valentino and Casey (Stoner), and then I am sure I can be a part of the race. I am very excited and I hope for a great battle."
Rossi made no attempt to hide his disappointment.
"Sincerely I am quite disappointed to miss out on the first row," he said. "Usually I don't mind so much, but here, in Mugello, it's special, so I am sorry for this.
"It was a great fight today and we had good potential for the pole position, but in the end we lost the front row to Loris (Capirossi), who did a great lap. Our setting is good, we have some small details to check but our race pace with the harder tire is very good, so I am not too worried. Of course starting from the second row makes life a little more difficult but we don't think about this.
"The weather situation is very important because if it's like this then we know we are fast, but if it changes, which seems possible from the forecast, then it will be a bit more difficult."
Rossi and Lorenzo had dominated the session, with Yamahas running... [Read More]
