MotoGP Aragon: broken leg doesn't slow Rossi down at all

Aragon is an exciting track, sure, but this year there is more excitement than ever for the MotoGP race. For one, Valentino Rossi is back on his M1 and not only did he manage to ride around well enough, he also had provisional pole until his teammate went faster. Second, his former teammate Jorge Lorenzo has seemed threatening ever since getting the aero upgrade on the Ducati, crashing out of the previous race while in the lead, and now he is showing what he is capable of, splitting the Yamaha riders for second place.

Three Hondas lock out row two, Marquez sandwiched between Crutchlow in fourth and Pedrosa in sixth. Pedrosa is at a loss why he's quick in conditions similar to the last race, where he just managed to struggle into the points. Dovizioso leads row three, with him unable to extract better out of his GP17. There are no real surprises in rest of the order, with the exception of Mika Kallio. The KTM test rider is in 12th place, ahead of both factory riders. 

In the dry, riding a MotoGP bike is more physically demanding. Race distance is also something that requires peak fitness - something that Valentino Rossi hasn't yet achieved. Come the race, we'll have the opportunity to find out how tough it - and The Doctor - can get.
