Valentino Rossi topped the timesheets in the morning warm up at Assen, but the big story is Jorge Lorenzo. The factory Yamaha rider was cleared to participate in warm up by medical officials after a check up this morning, and set the 8th fastest time, seven tenths slower than Rossi, in blustery conditions. Lorenzo faces another checkup at 11am before being passed fit for the race.

Wow.
Hard basterd alright. Did he run the 6th engine??????? I guess they can still elect to fit the new engine for the race? Amazing spirit if he not only rides at all, but elects not to use the opportunity to negate the dumb engine limit. Aside from his daft cobra antics I already had full respect for him, but I think his stock has gone up in almost everyone's eyes.
Jorge
Wow. Warmup yes. But 8th is impressive. The Ducatis must be kicking themselves when looking at the time sheets.
Nicky Hayden
he's coming on top of Dovi as the time for signing contracts draws closer...
