-----------------

Marco Simoncelli has topped the first dry session that MotoGP has had at Assen, ending the 90-minute session - extended to compensate for the loss of yesterday afternoon's session - as fastest. The San Carlo Gresini Honda rider finished nearly two tenths ahead of Repsol Honda's Casey Stoner, and a quarter of a second faster than the factory Yamaha of Ben Spies. Reigning World Champion Jorge Lorenzo was a third of a second behind his teammate Spies, while Valentino Rossi's first dry time on the heavily revised Ducati (see separate story here) saw him secure 5th spot on the timesheets, just ahead of the Monster Tech 3 bikes of Cal Crutchlow and Colin Edwards.
