2011 MotoGP
For the second time since Catalunya MotoGP, San Carlo Honda Gresini's Marco Simoncelli will start from the pole position.
The Italian edged out Yamaha Factory Racing's Ben Spies Friday at Assen qualifying by a mere 0.009 of a second, with the current MotoGP points' leader, Repsol Honda's Casey Stoner, a further 0.290 of a second behind Simoncelli.
This makes Simoncelli the fastest rider so far in Assen; on Thursday, he held off Ducati Team's Valentino Rossi in Free Practice 1, then the current MotoGP leader, Repsol Honda's Casey Stoner, in an extended Free Practice 2 due to the original session being canceled due to rain and oil on the track Thursday.
The second row for Saturday's Assen TT MotoGP race will be headed by the reigning MotoGP Champion, Jorge Lorenzo on the Yamaha Factory Racing M1. Joining Lorenzo on the second row will be Repsol Honda's Andrea Dovizioso, who was 0.101 of a second behind the Spaniard, and Monster Tech 3 Yamaha's Cal Crutchlow, who is still healing from breaking his shoulder at Silverstone two weeks ago.
Qualigying seventh was Cardion AB Motoracing's Karel Abraham, followed by Colin Edwards (Monster Tech 3 Yamaha), Nicky Hayden (Ducati Team) and Randy de Puniet (Pramac Racing).
As for Rossi, the Italian couldn't find a a proper setup for the new GP11.1 in the dry conditions. Valentino Rossi will start from 11th on the grid.
