Hayden eighth, Edwards sixth in mixed conditions (http://www.ninjette.org/news/146_0907_stoner_leads_german_motogp_opening/index.html)Although the weather was initially sunny and warm in Germany this morning, a lunchtime thunderstorm left the Sachsenring circuit soaking wet for the opening free practice session of the German Grand Prix. Nicky Hayden followed up on his good progress at Laguna by staying at the top of the leaderboard for the majority of the session while the track was wet, and when it dried he was still able to run impressive lap times. The incredibly tight pace of the field meant that even though he was only slightly over a half second behind the leader, he dropped down to eighth by the end of the session. Incidentally, that leader was Hayden's Ducati Marlboro teammate Casey Stoner, who was well inside the track record despite damp patches on the circuit.inline_mediumwraptextright27451983/news/146_0907_stoner_leads_german_motogp_openingStoner_action.jpgTrue
