MotoGP: Back Home (Indy Spoiler Thread)

FP 2 down for MM...

I am seriously impressed with Pedro, Bradl and Jlo. Those people shouldn't be showing that much speed yet!

Dang, I wish I was there.

... so who is Bautista going to take out this time?

mm?

Don't think he'll be close enough at any point to do that.

Rapp by more than .6 over McWilliams on the paint shakers!

Hope O'Hara can latch onto him at the start.

Yeah, for the XR's the lap time in Q isn't that big a deal at Indy. The draft for those pony's is the most. Get in with the front four and anybody can make things happen.

Surprised at McWilliams times. He must be riding somewhere to keep his edge up. He couldn't have just come off the couch...

That would be a clean sweep of the US rounds.

well you on the money so far!

I hope the Attack Performance bike picks up some speed, good to see those guys giving it a go. Tough crowd to perform in.

Just looking at some numbers, the Attack Performance bike's time for FP2 would be 23rd out of 32 bikes in Moto2 FP2. Either the Stanboli effort has major problems or the Moto2 600cc bikes are really hauling ass.

Top Speed will win Indy, Honda 1-2-3 (MM for the win and take your pick for the other 2 on the podium).

Bautista is very close to the Yamahas too.

Don't forget about the riders.

The guys hardly ever off a motorcycle. Recently raced at the Northwest 200, for example. I'm actually surprised he's over there, I was expecting to see him at the Manx......

No doubt, the difference between national level and top of the world.

Go on, rub it in, you're at the Manx are ya? :ddog

Mongrel.

Spies had a big, over the bars highside. Looks like he might have done a collar bone.

Marquez had quite an entertaining session. :eek1

All sorts of moments AND fastest.

You've got to be kidding. Who has the Spies voodoo doll? Never ending bad luck if he broke it.
