Round 12 Indy 08/28/11 **SPOILERS**

L8 Braker · 08-26-2011, 11:32 AM

This is how I see it...This is a huge track, but not very high speed...Last year Stoner had a DNF and Pedrosa had the "W"...Spies scored a 2nd place behind Dani boy...And you gotta wonder if this hurricane will screw up the race the same way Ike did...

--Stoner: 7 wins in 11 races this year (stuff that in your win percentage book)
--Lorenzo: very beatable lately and Dovi is only 23 points behind him
--Dovizioso: one of the most consistent riders in GP, and may end up beating JLo in points
--Rossi: quietly sitting in 4th place and riding harder than he's ever had to
--Pedrosa: still a threat to win any given race, yet you just don't ever feel like he's going to
--Spies: riding hard and scoring 4th and 5th consistently
--Hayden: still riding hard, but needs to accept he will never again be competitive in GP
--Simoncelli: appears to be figuring out how to race with the big boys without crashing everyone out

Can't wait til the US races are over so I can stop listening to those fucktard American announcers on Speed! They can ruin a perfectly good race.

You're just jealous that Kramer is apparently the only one on the whole planet who can pronounce a Spanish name LOR-EN-THO!! (even if the announcers that live over there pronounce it ZO

)

Some of the riders are saying that the new asphalt at Indy sucks!!!

Stoner: the track conditions weren't very good, it was very slippery and it was difficult to find any grip. It was pointless trying to find a set up with the track like this as it was worse than with the bumps in previous years. Hopefully by this afternoon there will be some more rubber laid down on the track and things will improve.

Pedrosa: We have had many problems with the grip. The quality of the new asphalt is disappointing, not what a world championship circuit deserves. There is no grip and the level is very irregular. The worst thing is the entrance of the corner; you can control the acceleration with the throttle, but entering the corner there is no traction at all. Now, all we can do is to adapt as best we can to the track because I think it will not change very much

Dovizioso: It was like riding in the wet, keeping the same tire and taking more risks every lap. The main issue is in the rear, especially entering the corners

Spies: It feels like kinda being at Qatar when the little desert storm comes through at night and riding the next day

Apparently they just needed the Moto2 guys to lay down some rubber for them.

My best friend is there, too. Bastard. He was at Laguna Seca before.
