Lorenzo Needs Magic to Close Gap on Stoner

Laguna Seca, California - MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo has long been inspired by Laguna Seca and its infamous Corkscrew turn and he will be banking on that special spur when he defends his US Grand Prix title this week.

With nine races left this season, the 24-year-old Spaniard trails Australian Casey Stoner by 15 points in the overall standings and would dearly love to trim that deficit further with another triumphant display on Sunday.

Lorenzo made up some ground on Stoner when he snatched second place for Yamaha at last week’s German Grand Prix, one place better than the Australian.

“We are very strong at the moment and we will try to continue to reduce our gap behind Casey,” Lorenzo said on Friday.

“I have had great moments at Laguna Seca, above all last year when I won but also in 2009 when I got pole position even with a big crash and at the end got a podium.”

Two years ago, Lorenzo took pole position despite crashing and partially dislocating his collar bone in qualifying. He finished the race third behind winner Dani Pedrosa and Valentino Rossi after a gutsy performance.

Twelve months ago, the Spaniard again started on pole but this time he benefited from a spectacular crash by compatriot Pedrosa on lap 12 before powering across the finish line 3.517 seconds ahead of Ducati’s Stoner.

“That win was very special,” Lorenzo said of his 11th MotoGP triumph. “Winning at Laguna Seca was something I’d always dreamed of.”

Lorenzo is certain, though, to face heated competition on Sunday from 2007 US Grand Prix champion Stoner and Pedrosa.

“It’s a circuit I’ve always enjoyed quite good results at and we’ve always been naturally quite fast on it,” said Stoner, who has finished on the podium in his last seven races. “We’ll be looking to improve our results from the past three weekends. Podiums are great but I’m here to win races.”

Pedrosa, who sealed his return from injury by winning the German Grand Prix on Sunday, is another long-time fan of Laguna Seca, which is scenically laid out in rolling hills overlooking the Monterey Peninsula.

“The atmosphere there is special and I’d like to close the first part of the season with a good feeling,” the 25-year-old said. Reuters

Red Bull's Webber on Pole for German GP

by Gordon Howard

A determined Mark Webber of Red Bull secured pole position for Sunday's German Grand Prix with a blistering performance in the final minutes of Saturday's tense and competitive qualifying session.

On a cold afternoon in the Eifel mountains, the 34-year-old Australian was dominant as unexpected nearest rival Lewis Hamilton grabbed second place for McLaren.

The Briton's performance pushed defending champion Sebastian Vettel in the second Red Bull off the front row of the grid.

It was the first time this year that 24-year-old German, the runaway leader in this year's title race, had failed to qualify on the front row and, overall, the first time in 15 Grands Prix since last season's Italian Grand Prix.

For Webber, it confirmed his liking for the Nurburgring circuit, where he claimed his first career win two years ago.

It was his second pole in successive races, his third this year and the ninth of his career.

Webber clocked a fastest lap of one minute and 30.079 seconds to take the prime starting position ahead of Hamilton, who produced a brilliant effort to take second just 0.05 seconds behind him in his McLaren.

Webber said: "My form has been getting better and this track's not been too bad for me in the past.

"The boys did a great job on the car - there were some late nights in the lead up to here but we got it together in the end. After my lap I thought that if someone gets me they deserve it because I was at my limit and it was a great lap."

"That was a wicked lap," said Hamilton after splitting the Red Bulls.

"It had everything."

He added: "I really must thank and congratulate my team. The upgrades this weekend - updates and improvements to engine modes - have been arriving all the time and they have helped massively.

"I underestimated how good the car would be when we went to light fuel load. It was one of the happiest and most comforting laps I have ever had, I felt incredible. We are not far from them (Red Bull) so I'm very happy."

Vettel, whose form has slipped from his own very high standards in the lat two months, was only able to take third place ahead of two-times champion Fernando Alonso and his Ferrari team-mate Felipe Massa who was fifth after a dramatic finale to qualifying.

A defensive Vettel insisted: "It is not a disappointment. I would like to be further up, but it was a tough session. The balance was not right yesterday and although we made a bit of a recovery today, we should have been quicker.."

Vettel has never won a race on home soil and is desperate to end that record on his 'homecoming' as champion, but he has looked slightly ill at ease as his main rivals have begun to produce faster and more competitive performances.

German Nico Rosberg took sixth for Mercedes ahead of Briton Jenson Button in the second McLaren.

Then came another German, Adrian Sutil of Force India, Russian Vitaly Petrov of Renault and seven-times champion local hero Michael Schumacher, 42, in the second Mercedes. 'Schumi' was 2.4 seconds off pole.

Jenson Button aborted his final qualifying lap and said afterwards he was mystified at being comprehensively outpaced by Hamilton.

"We lost the balance that we had in the morning and I don't know the answer," he said.

The German Grand Prix is the 10th round in the 19-race calendar.

Vettel leads the drivers' championship with 204 points ahead of Webber on 124, Alonso on 112 and the two McLaren drivers Button and Hamilton on 109.

In the constructors' championship, Red Bull lead with 328 ahead of McLaren on 218 and Ferrari on 164. AFP

Lorenzo seizes US GP pole

Spanish Yamaha rider Jorge Lorenzo shrugged off a spectacular practice crash to capture pole position yesterday for today’s MotoGP US Grand Prix at Laguna Seca Raceway.

Lorenzo, who arrived Stateside chasing Australian Casey Stoner for the series points lead, clocked the fastest qualifying time of 1min 21.202sec, edging Stoner who was second-quickest in 1:21.274.

Stoner’s Honda teammate Dani Pedrosa of Spain was third-quickest, with Lorenzo’s factory Yamaha teammate Ben Spies fourth.

Lorenzo’s second pole position of the season came after he was sent flying in the morning’s third and final free practice.

After a few moments on the ground, he was able to stand and limp off the track. He was checked by doctors at the race medical center and cleared for qualifying.

“It was a very ugly crash this morning. When I hit the ground I was full of pain and I was thinking that the race was over for me,” Lorenzo admitted. “Fortunately after some minutes the pain was going little by little. But to be in the first position is better than I expected.”

Lorenzo was still limping after qualifying, but said the discomfort was less when he was riding. “On the bike I don’t feel so much pain, so I could go fast from the beginning and then make a very good lap time with the soft tyres,” he said. “We are very proud of this result.” Lorenzo was fast early in qualifying, but it wasn’t until his 35th and final lap that he notched his pole-winning time to deny Stoner, who had boasted the fastest time from the three practice sessions.

Pedrosa, winner of the German Grand Prix last weekend, finished .183sec off the qualifying pace. Spies was .376sec behind Lorenzo.

Despite booking a front-row spot on the starting grid, Stoner wasn’t sounding optimistic. “For the whole session we were trying to find the right set up,” said the Aussie, who brings a 15-point lead over Lorenzo atop the standings into Sunday’s race. “All weekend we’ve been struggling a little and we’ve not found anything I’m comfortable with.

“I’ve closed the front many times and we’re still looking to find some balance on the bike to get it working on this track, where we expected it to work well.”

After Lorenzo had set a target with a fast lap 15 minutes into the session, America’s Spies delighted the home fans when he took provisional pole with 15 minutes remaining.

Japan wins women’s World Cup for first time

AP - Japan became the first Asian nation to win the Women’s World Cup on Sunday, beating the United States in a penalty shootout after both sides were level at 2-2 after extra time.

The Japanese denied the U.S. team the chance to become the first nation to lift the cup three times.

The Americans missed their first three penalties and Japan went on to win the shootout 3-1 when Saki Kumagai slotted the final shot high past goalkeeper Hope Solo.

In a thrilling final, 32-year-old Japan captain Homare Sawa flicked a corner through a jumble of players and past Solo with three minutes of extra time left to level the score at 2-2 and set up the penalty shootout.

Japan had already scored late in regulation to force extra time.
