Qatar winner and reigning world champion Casey Stoner could also play a leading role, despite struggling to seventh in qualifying, while former world champion

Nicky Hayden

has the potential to shine from fourth.

"The pole position and the second place in Qatar were like a dream, so it's an amazing surprise for me to repeat that pole position here, and even better because it's in front of my home fans!" began Jorge, the youngest rider on the MotoGP grid.

"I was really happy with the last qualifying lap, my earlier ones were already quite good but not perfect, so I was really excited to make such a great final lap. Our race pace is good as well and I am feeling very comfortable on the bike and with my Michelin tyres.

"My rivals are very strong and will be trying hard to beat me, but I will definitely be fighting for the podium! Thanks to my team for doing a great job; I am really excited about tomorrow and I hope we have more weather like this and a fantastic show," he concluded.
