Stoner still ahead in warm-up

Casey Stoner kept building momentum ahead of this afternoon's Czech Grand Prix at Brno by setting the fastest lap in morning warm-up by some 0.4s over title rival Valentino Rossi.

Conditions were much improved today and the session took place on a dry track. Stoner and Rossi were in a class of their own, setting this afternoon up for a major showdown with third place man Vermeulen over 1.9s down on the leading pace in third.

Guintoli ended warm-up in fourth ahead of Elias, Nakano and an improving Pedrosa. De Angelis, Edwards and Hopkins rounded of the top ten.
