Dan lagi…gw harus salut dengan style Rossi, dengan perlahan Stoner mulai ditinggalkan oleh Rossi di lap ke-14 yang sebelumnya terlihat saling bertukar tempat di posisi ke 2 dan 3. Dengan mantap di lap ke 16 lagi-lagi Rossi berhasil memenangkan pertarungan sengit dengan Pedrosa untuk memperebutkan posisi pertama. Pedrosa sendiri terlihat tampil sangat maksimal di hadapan publiknya sendiri, tapi apa daya Rossi sudah meninggalkan jauh dirinya di urutan ke-2 hingga terpaut 3 detik!!Hingga akhir balapan tidak ada perubahan pada posisi tersebut, dan Stoner terlihat gembira walaupun hanya berada di urutan ke-3 karena selama ini dia tidak pernah naik podium di seri Jerez. Akhirnya dengan berakhirnya balapan Jerez ini, otomatis membuat Lorenzo terdepak sebagai pemimpin klasemen sementara untuk balapan musim ini, dan harus puas duduk di urutan ke-3. Dan…Stoner…walaupun terseok-seok selama berlangsungnya balapan, puas duduk di urutan ke-2 dibawah Rossi di klasemen sementara.

Yang menarik bagi gw disini adalah rekan se-tim Stoner, Nicky Hayden yang tahun lalu membela Honda dan kemudian hengkang ke Ducati, sampai saat ini dia belum menunjukkan performa yang memuaskan bagi Ducati. Let see..apakah sebegitu buas tenaga GP9 Ducati dan hanya seorang Stoner yang mampu menjinakkan-nya atau…dia mendapatkan perlakuan yang sama seperti waktu di Honda dulu :p. Entahlah…

Casey Stoner continued to show his strong performance on the Ducati GP9 in Qatar on Tuesday as the Australian ended on top of the time sheets on what was the third and final day of testing in the Qatar night this week. Stoner completed his fastest lap in 1.55.744 and was just ahead of Yamaha riders Lorenzo and Rossi.

Like i quoted from GpUpdate[dot]net. Stoner also become the fastest time on the day of the second test again surpass the earnings season ago weighing rival, Valentino Rossi. If the second day of the Yamaha stalk in position two, now Rossi down to the position of the three.

For your info Pedrosa had brought an early halt to his Qatar test, cause had a fall entering Turn 10 and must surgery on arm and knee. Pedrosa hit his left wrist and left knee in the fall and was taken to the circuit medical centre where initial x-rays showed no signs of a break. But the knee has been further damaged and will require skin graft surgery. His left arm, meanwhile, requires a supportive screw insertion in order to heal the fractured radius bone more rapidly than if left unsupported. It is unclear as yet how this will affect his preseason preparations with just over a month to go before the first race of the year.

Aniway next test session, while the last, will held at Jerez on March 28-29, or about three and a half more weeks. After that, the first MotoGP series will begin in Qatar on 12 April.
