All qualifying practices are delayed due to RAIN! They will update at 15:00 local time, about an hour from now.

Hmm, looks like the rain will blow out my Qualifying time tip

Only by about 4 seconds. Oh well.

Qualifying has been cancelled due to the weather, they are taking the combined practice times for the grid, which is:

Rossi
Stoner
Lorenzo
Vermeulen
Edwards
Capirossi
Dovizioso
Melandri
Elias
Toseland
Pedrosa
Hayden
Takahashi
Gibernau
de Angelis
de Puniet
Kallio
Canepa

Hmm, looks to be a wet race, and Vermeulen starting 4th, looks like there will be an Aussie winner, just not the one that a lot of people expected.

Go Chris!!! (even if it does screw up my tips...lol)
