the field's times are so close tho that it really doesn't matter.  fp3
was crazy, before the q tires went on for a few riders the top 14 were
separated by a second, the top 10 by less than 1/2 asec and the top 3
had 7/100ths between them.

also, the bridgestone thing doesn't explain nakano's front row.

my spidey senses say this is going to be an incredible, legendary race.
