2009 MotoGP Round 12 -Indianapolis (Race Spoilers)

[Jester]

FP2 never has live video.

+1

You can watch the live timing though.  Just no video.

Pedro has been fast and I'd expect a quick start as usual, but I could see Lorenzo winning this race and clawing back 9 points on Rossi as it stands.  Lorenzo put in a ton of 40's during Quali, more than Pedro and a lot more than Rossi.

I know Lorenzo seems to run a ton of fast laps every week, but he might pull this one out.  Rossi and Burgess always seem to find a tweak at the last moment to provide a good race but he's a little more off the pace than usual.  Guess we'll see where it stands during warmup tomorrow morning.

DeAngelis' lap seems a little misleading to me, since he didn't show much the rest of Qualy.  Not really an up front threat imo.

[TiNi]

go nicky!

that is all

I guess the qualy performance wasn't a fluke.

He did get a tow during qualifying, but if he gets a good start...

who knows.

[TiNi]

i really want to see him on the podium this season 

[Jester]

Man, what happened to Rossi on that turn?  His bike dropped out from underneath him almost like Lorenzo when he hit the white stripe in Donington.  Crazy!  Hopefully Lorenzo pulls this win in and we got ourselves a championship!!!!!!!!!!   

[kopfjäger]

Great race for Nicky. 

Hats off for Pedrosa's run, after the crash. 

[Jester]

The Captain America celebration was classic!   

[derby]

i guess AdA had something after all.

[Cynic]

Who is in charge of the Camera work for this... HORRIBLE! There was a battle for 2nd and 3rd, that seemed ignored for most of the last half of the race.



WOOT HAYDEN!!!

[Rufus120]

Good for Nicky

I really think Fox wanted to show anything they could except the race
