'It's difficult to do what I did especially when it is so hot,' Pedrosa said.

He added later: 'I have broken the record and I am very happy, although the objective was just to be on the front row. I had great feelings and I have gone out with a great lap.'

Lorenzo, the reigning world champion and Pedrosa's fellow Spaniard, made up ground in the standings when he triumphed at Mugello in Italy earlier this month. Pedrosa's advantage shrunk to 12 points through five races.

Despite being overtaken by Lorenzo at the first corner and not able to reclaim the lead, Pedrosa said he was happy with second place in what had been a 'difficult weekend.'

His sizzling time Saturday came midway in qualifying, while Lorenzo recorded his fastest time at the end of qualifying like Crutchlow.

He earlier had to switch bikes because of a clutch problem.

'We are on the first row, which is the most important thing for tomorrow,' Lorenzo said. 'We have to keep improving, but it will be a completely different race tomorrow.

'It will be very hot and we will run slower than our best lap today.'

Rookie Marc Marquez, another Spaniard, endured more disappointment when he finished sixth in his Honda.
