Jorge Lorenzo took pole position in an incident packed qualifying session for the German GP.
About 3 quarters through the session Jorge Lorenzo had a huge engine failure that saw flames, smoke, and eventually oil spill from his bike. Lorenzo managed to get his bike off the track, but it was Ben Spies and Randy de Puniet who were the real victims as they crashed out on the spilled oil. Spies got up okay, but de Puniet collided with Spies’ bike in the crash and injured his ankle – despite pain and discomfort, he has been ruled fit to race tomorrow.
