| Casey Stoner secured his place on pole position for tomorrow. |
Today's qualifying session was a day for records, and hopes, to tumble.
The biggest news of course is the breaking of the qualifying lap record, first by Simoncelli, and then by Stoner, pushing the fastest lap of the new Silverstone circuit to 2'02.20, which bought him pole position in tomorrows race, with Simoncelli and Lorenzo completing the front row of the MotoGP grid.
Unfortunately, British rider Cal Crutchlow won't be competing, after a crash during his third lap of qualifying which left him with a broken left collar bone and a head concussion. Hopefully after surgery and a rest period, he will be up and running again by round 7 in Assen (Netherlands).
The peoples favourite Valentino Rossi trailed at the end of qualifying, only managing to secure 13th on the grid at the head of row 5.
Luck both worked for and against the main Brit's in the Moto2 qualifier, with Bradley Smith suffering engine difficulties which left him trailing in 28th on the grid, but Scott Redding placed the second fastest lap in the session, putting him between Marc Marquez and Stefan Bradl on the front row.
The 125 qualifier saw Maverick Viñales claim his first pole position, with Nicolas Terol and Johann Zarco claiming second and third respectively. Danny Kent claimed the highest position for tomorrows grid out of the British riders with 12th place, with Danny Webb claiming 15th.
