Stoner is reportedly suffering from a nasty fever but still managed to grab pole position in the wet. It will be interesting to see how his condition affects his stamina at Brno with Rossi starting on the front row. Hopkins returns from an injury for Brno and puts America on the first row. Never rule out Vermy in the second row, who has always shown strength in wet races, if the conditions thus far are an omen for what will come during the race.
