Gibernau heads Honda front row in Rio
Sete Gibernau set a new pole position record to head an all-Honda front row on the first day of qualifying for the Cinzano Rio Grand Prix. Gibernau had contested top spot for much of the session with Yamaha rival Valentino Rossi but the late surge for times saw Makoto Tamada and Alex Barros gatecrash the top three positions in second and third place respectively.
However, neither Tamada, who took his only podium here last season, or home favourite Barros, who set his fastest lap after a farcical crash, were able to get close to the Spaniard's time of 1'48.618 as Gibernau maintained an 0.679 second advantage at the top of the timesheet.
"As far as I am concerned Sunday starts today and we have done a good job with our preparations for the race," said Gibernau, who is tied on points with Rossi at the top of the championship but lies second by virtue of an inferior win rate. "We are very focused on improving my performance and that of the bike. Provisional pole position is circumstantial - the important thing is that I have a good feeling and I have set a rhythm in the 1'49 on race tyres from the start. It will be a hard race because of the competitior and the heat so l am satisfied to have set so many quick laps."
Despite single factory dominance on the front row there is a mixed bag on the second row where Rossi, in fourth place, is joined by Ducati rider Loris Capirossi and Kawasaki's Shinya Nakano in fifth and sixth respectively. Max Biaggi was seventh fastest ahead of Honda colleague Nicky Hayden, who moved up eight places on his last lap, and Suzuki rider Kenny Roberts, who had joined Gibernau and Rossi in the tussle for early supremacy before slipping to ninth.
Carlos Checa edged his way up to tenth place with his last lap on a difficult first day for Yamaha as Marco Melandri and Norick Abe qualified fourteenth and fifteenth fastest respectively. Further down the order, David De Gea provisionally qualified on the WCM after stepping in as a late substitute for the injured Michel Fabrizio.
Randy De Puniet led a trio of factory Aprilia riders at the top of the 250cc time sheets, smashing the pole position record by over half a second to hold off Manuel Poggiali and Sebastian Porto for the front slot on the provisional grid. Series leader De Puniet's time of 1'52.929 was 0.528 seconds quicker than Toni Elias' previous record and was enough to hold off Poggiali by the slim margin of 0 052 seconds.
Dani Pedrosa was the fastest Honda, edging out Elias for the final provisional front row slot in fourth place on his first visit to the Nelson Piquet circuit with the quarter-litre machine. Privateer Aprilia riders Franco 8attaini and Sylvain Guintoli were sixth and seventh fastest respectively whilst their Campetella Racing team-mate Joan Olive, who was fourth quickest in the morning session, failed to qualify after crashing on his second lap out.
Hector Barbera set a new pole record in the first qualifying practice for the 125cc class, setting two fast laps at the end of the session to secure top spot in a time of 1'57.740. Whilst Barbera was some 0.422 seconds clear at the top of the timesheet, just 0.083 seconds covered the next three riders, with Roberto Locatelli also producing a late surge to snatch second spot ahead of Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner. Andrea Dovizioso, who leads the World Championship after six rounds, was sixth fastest. | Translation - Portuguese

Gibernau lidera com Honda a primeira fila no Rio
Sete Gibernau estabeleceu um novo recorde de pole position e liderou a primeira fila formada inteiramente por motos da Honda no primeiro dia de classificação para o Cinzano Rio Grand Prix. Gibernau disputou a lideranca na maior parte do treino com o rival da Yamaha Valentino Rossi, mas ao final da sessão Makoto Tamada e Alex Barros tomaram a segunda e terceira posições respectivamente.
No entanto, nem Tamada - que só subiu ao pódio uma vez, na última temporada, neste circuito nem o favorito brasileiro Barros - que fez sua volta mais rápida após um pequeno acidente por descuido - foram capazes de se aproximar do tempo de 1'48.618 do espanhol Gibernau, que manteve uma vantagem de 0.679' do segundo colocado.
"No que me diz respeito, a corrida começa hoje e nós fizemos um bom preparativo" disse Gibernau que está empatado em pontos com Rossi na lideranca do campeonato, mas está em segundo em virtude do número inferior de vitérias. Nós entamos muiro empenhados em melhorar minha performance e a da moto. A pole position provisória é circunstancial - o importante é que estou com bom pressentimento e consegui manter um ritmo de 1'49" com pneus de corrida desde o começo. Será uma corrida dificil por causa da competição e do calor, e sendo assim, estou bastante contente por ter feito tantas voltas rápidas.
Apesar do dominio de um único fabricante na primeira fila, há uma diversificação na segunda fila. Rossi, em quarto lugar, se juntou ao corredor da Ducati, Lcris Capirossi, e ao da Kawasaki, Shinya Nakano, em quinto e sexto lugar respectivamente. Max Binggi íoi o sétimo mais rápido na frente do companheiro da Honda Nicky Hayden, que ganhou oito posições em sua última volta, e do corredor da Suzuki, Kenny Roberts, que se juntou ao Gibernau e Rossi na disputa pela primeira posição antes de cair ao nono lugar.
Carlos Checa traçou seu caminho até o décimo lugar na sua última volta em um dificil primeiro dia para a Yamaha que teve Marco Melandri e Norick Abe qualificados na décima quarta e décima quinta posições, respectivamente. Mais abaixo no grid encontra-se David De Gea, classificado provisioramente no Campeonato Mundial depois de substituir de última hora o piloto acidentado Michel Fabrizio.
Randy De Puniet liderou em tempo o trio de metos Aprilia na categoria 250cc, quebrando o recorde da pole position em mais de meio segundo, atastando Manuel Poggiali e Sebastian Porto da primeira posicão no grid provisorio. O tempo de 1'52.929" do lider da categoria, De Puniet's, foi 0.528" mais rapido do que o recorde anterior de Toni Elias e apenas 0.052" a frente de Poggiali.
Dani Pedrosa foi o mais rápido da Honda, batendo Elias na fila final proviséria em quarto lugar em sua primeira visita ao autódromo Nelson Piquet pilotando uma máquina de 250cc. Os pilotos da Aprilia Franco Battaini e Sylvain Guintoli foram o sexto e setimo mais rápidos respectivamente, ao passo que o companheiro deles Joan Olivé da equipe de corridas Campetella, que foi o quarto mais rápido na sessão da manhã, não se claissificou após bater na sua segunda volta.
Hector Barberá estabeleceu um novo record de pole position no primeiro treino qualificatério da categoria 125cc, fazendo duas voltas rápidas no final da sessão para assegurar a lideranca num tempo de 1'57.740n. Enquanto Barberá tinha uma vantagem de 0.422 segundos no grid, os outros três pilotos disputavam uma diferenca de apenas 0.083 segundos, numa crescente disputa em que Roberto Locatelli conquistou o segundo lugar na frente de Jorge Lorenzo e Casey Stoner. Andrea Dovizioso, que lidera o Campeonato Mundial após seis etapas, foi o sexto classificado. |
