Stoner On Top On Second Night Test In Qatar

The second night on the MotoGP test in Qatar concluded with former World Champion Casey Stoner at the head of the test.MotoGP 2007 champion Casey Stoner was the man on the pace on night two in Qatar, finishing Monday’s session more than half a second faster than any riders.

Away from the succeed of Casey Stoner, the big news was a heavy crash for Dani Pedrosa,the Spaniard, who did not ride at all on Sunday crashed out at turn 10, re-injuring the knee and hand he bashed at the Sachsenring last year. He was taken to the Clinca Mobile and Dr Costa recommended he go home to check out a suspected wrist fracture.Hopefully he will be fit on the opening round of MotoGp 2009.

Following the Pedrosa crash there was a second red flag of the session when Ducati satellite rookie Mika Kallio suffered an accident on turn nine .
