that is true. but it's also true that he has gotten over that a lot in the last 2 seasons.
You might even say that he has
grown
quite a lot.... Or not.

5. Valentino Rossi ITA Fiat Yamaha Team 1m 57.059s
6. Andrea Dovizioso ITA Repsol Honda Team 1m 57.117s
7. Colin Edwards USA Monster Yamaha Tech 3 1m 57.222s
8. Nicky Hayden USA Ducati Marlboro Team 1m 57.635s

15. Alex de Angelis RSM Interwetten Honda MotoGP 1m 58.522s
16. Aleix Espargaro ESP Pramac Racing 1m 58.700s
Lorenzo and Fiat Yamaha team-mate Valentino Rossi both finished the session on foot, having crashed out in separate incidents in the closing stages.
Lorenzo fell first, lowsiding from his factory M1, which then skipped across the gravel and vaulted onto the top of a tyre barrier.
The Spaniard was unharmed and briskly walked to his machine to switch off the engine, in an attempt to limit any engine damage.
Rossi's accident was less spectacular, the Italian slipping off after losing the front into the final chicane.
The reigning seven time MotoGP champion, who broke his leg in June, was visibly furious with the error which has left him fifth on the grid.
Meanwhile, Rossi's rumoured 2011 replacement Ben Spies had led the Yamaha challenge for much of the second half of the session, first taking pole with 17 minutes to go, then putting his Monster Yamaha Tech 3 back on top with five minutes remaining.
The MotoGP rookie, who won a World Superbike race at Brno last season, was eventually denied pole by a last-minute lunge from Pedrosa, which put the Repsol Honda rider 0.338sec clear for his third pole of the season.

Woot! Go the Ben! Maybe it will be an interesting race after all, I read somewhere that Yamaha had thrown a coule of factory parts to Colin and Ben over the break. I sure hope Rossi didn't injure his leg further, the Jorge-haters will have a field day if he did

His right leg barely touched the tarmac in the crash. It was a pretty uninteresting left hand low side. He was pissed because he was .088 off the pace and probably had a front row spot with that lap.

One worry I have is that Spies wasn't terribly consistent, still great effort.
The other thing to note is the potential for surprises, given how many folks crashed during the very end of practice. Lorenzo and Rossi looked to be close to the pole pace but then, bam.
Like I said, fingers crossed for an interesting GP. The magic 8-ball says "signs point to yes"

can someone tell Ben it's OK to smile when he gets on the front row in a GP.

Maybe he thinks the blank/race face thingy works for Pedro-bot so maybe if he tries it too it might work for him.
When he raced AMA SBK I always thought he should use some of that big contract money and buy a personality. When he went to WSBK and got on the world stage he seemed to open up more and actually joked around.

I thought is was a fairly boring race, other than Casey blowing by Ben.

+1 Not too interesting, would love for Lorenzo to actually have some competition.

If that were Pedro, you guys would be calling him names and ripping him a new hole. Spies is kind of boring in the same fashion to be honest. I don't even recall him smiling when he took off his helmet at the end of QP. Maybe he spent too much time alongside Mladin in AMA.

The difference is that spies is humble and thusly comes across as a reserved, hard working man. Pedrosa is cocky, so he just comes across as an asshole

Any time next to Mladin is too much.

I understand Ben is a reserved kind of guy, but great champions have some flair.
He needs to go find some or he'll get the robot ribbing too.
