Max Biaggi topped the timesheets once again at Brno, the only man to drop under the 2 minute marker during the first session of qualifying. Ducati's Michel Fabrizio improved his position, setting the 2nd fastest time, ahead of Carlos Checa and a remarkable Makoto Tamada on the Kawasaki. Tamada has been very much mid-pack so far this year, but his return from injury appears to have inspired him. Yamaha's Ben Spies was 5th quickest in the session, while Nori Haga improved, but only up to 16th. Qualifying continues tomorrow morning, the top 20 advancing to Superpole.
