Ducati lead in warm-up

Casey Stoner and Loris Capirossi were the fastest riders in Sunday morning's warm-up session ahead of the Valencia Grand Prix. At Circuit de Ricardo Tormo Stoner completed his fastest lap in 1,33,015 and was four tenths of a second faster than his team-mate Capirossi. De Puniet was third.

Under a clear sky the last day of the 2007 MotoGP Championship went underway with Valentino Rossi completing only a couple of laps to see how his hand feels. The Italian fell hard in Saturday's qualifying session and broke his hand in three places. Rossi though refused to give up his Grand Prix weekend and decided to give it a shot in today's warm-up.
