Daily Update MotoGP

Casey Stoner took his first pole position of the year at Barcelona ahead of tomorrow's MotoGP of Catalunya.
The Ducati Marlboro rider, who has won only one race this season after dominating the championship in 2007, was the only Bridgestone rider in the top seven positions.
The Australian set his blistering lap of 1:41.186 just after the time in the 60-minute session expired. That came a handful of seconds after Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa took provisional pole away from teammate Nicky Hayden.
