It's a long race and Lorenzo used full soft compound front/rear, not the tires he'll be on tomorrow. Any of the guys in the top six could win it. If Marquez can keep from throwing the bike down the road and is not cold-cocked by Iannone (y'all see Marc run Iannone off the track and basically flip him the bird?) he's got the setup to run in on the brakes and get loose to pass. Qualifying ain't racing, it's only about ensuring grid position. Sometimes a record gets broken but the top three were all right on top of the previous record, a cluster.

Rossi needed to be on the front row so he rode just fast enough to get there. Gonna be a long race.
