Pedrosa leads Catalunya warm-up

The Honda rider was only fourth in qualifying yesterday, but deposed Casey Stoner from the top spot right at the end of this morning's 20-minute session.

Poleman Jorge Lorenzo was third for Yamaha behind Stoner's Ducati, with under 0.2 seconds covering the trio.

Andrea Dovizioso was fourth on the second factory Honda, while Aleix Espargaro continued his impressive weekend by going fifth fastest for Pramac Ducati, even if he did crash at Turn Five the next time around. Suzuki stayed on the pace too, with Alvaro Bautista in sixth.
