Colin Edwards and Nicky Hayden came third and fourth, with Casey Stoner in seventh and James Toseland eighth.  | 606: DEBATE |
Lorenzo managed to break Loris Capirossi's previous lap record three times during the qualifying session. Toseland's eighth place finish was all the more impressive as he spend time on a respirator on Thursday because of a heavy chest infection, which has needed antibiotics.
