MotoGP Indianapolis, Free Practice 2: Pedrosa ahead of Spies, the Ducatis poorly
The Spaniard from Team Repsol is the fastest with a time of 1:39.783
The second round of free practice of the MotoGP class in Indianapolis, scene of the eleventh stage of the 2012 world championship, was held with better weather conditions than Free Practice 1. Twenty-five degrees in the air and forty-five on the asphalt welcomed the twenty-two riders with only Steve Rapp in the pits due to damage to his Team Attack Performance APR. Another change compared to the first session was Toni Elias riding the Team Pramac Ducati. Hector Barberà, starting driver and returning here after the fracture of the tibia and fibula which occurred before the Laguna Seca GP, crashed in the morning and is still in hospital due to neck trauma and severe abdominal pain.
Dani Pedrosa, Repsol Honda Team rider, achieved the best time with a time of 1:39.783. The Spaniard was the only rider to go below the 40 minute and 295 mark, placing the American Ben Spies' Yamaha Factory by XNUMX thousandths, finally in the positions that count.
Third time for the second Yamaha Factory, that of world championship leader Jorge Lorenzo, who however pays off by a good 719 thousandths from the top. The Mallorcan rider who worked with a view to the race preceded the first of the Italian riders, Yamaha (SAT) Andrea Dovizioso from Forlì who is also the number one suspect to ride the Ducati in place of Valentino Rossi, who in the next two years will be in riding the Yamaha.
Casey Stoner, who was the fastest this morning, is fifth, 840 thousandths behind team-mate Pedrosa. The Australian who will retire from racing at the end of the year worked with soft tires most of the time and only tried the hard compound at the end.
Stoner precedes Cal Crutchlow with the second Yamaha SAT of Team Tech 3, the Honda RC213V SAT of Alvaro Bautista and Stefan Bradl and the Ducatis of Nicky Hayden and Valentino Rossi who close the Top Ten 1.614 and 1.746 behind respectively. A heavy gap in terms of the race and which suggests yet another uphill race for the riders of the Borgo Panigale team.
Best of the CRT drivers was Randy de Puniet, eleventh with the ART of Team Power Electronics Aspar. The Frenchman preceded Karel Abraham's Ducati SAT and an excellent Mattia Pasini thirteenth with the ART of Team Speed Master. The other Italian drivers are Michele Pirro 16th and Danilo Petrucci 21st.

And I thought from the statements made by Ducati that from Indianapolis Hayden would have been a first or second row rider!!! We'll see next year....poor Dovi.
…I would see the glass as half full…after all, he was faster than De Puniet by about 3 tenths ah, ah!!!
Come on, redheads... don't blame yourself, stay united ah, ah!!!
Another 8 laughter competitions...and it will continue next year...what great moments ah, ah!!!
poor troll you make me feel sorry for you...laugh, laugh that your mummy made gnocchi, next year poor Fra Stoner retires to a convent and your Ducati will start winning again...hahahaha and here if you'll excuse me I'll laugh ahaha.
...I don't support anyone and, I repeat: Rossi is a filthy flag that goes where his "ass" takes him, he has never had a second in his wrist and has been seen in Ducatis...he has always been overrated and yes ' seen in these 2 years... he was always overpaid and it was clear that he didn't even deserve this... in my opinion you will be worse off when the geriatrician takes them from the black mamba ah, ah... and enjoy these last races in peace... .come on, Rossistas….stay united ah, ah!!!
I believe that only time will be able to establish the true values of the "Boiled or Not" riders on the field. Certainly all this malice towards Rossi is only the result of years of repressed envy, certainly not of objective analysis of the facts!
NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT ROSSI'S VALUE BUT WE MUST ADMIT HE HAS FAILED BADLY AND YOU DON'T ABANDON SHIP IF YOU THINK YOU'RE A SUPER COMMANDER THIS COWARD ESCAPE IS NOT TOO RESPECTFUL FOR THOSE WHO SPENT MONEY AND WORKED NIGHTS FOR THAT BEING OKAY TO THE NEXT
...well done, Roberto...it's more or less the same answer I gave to red above regarding the lack of coherence of the stretcher bearer...since it's a phenomenon, and it's also a phenomenon from a human point of view...it seems like he only worked he and Ducati have been watching...at least 3 frames have been made for him according to his instructions...and he's going slower and slower...could it be his fault? Well… only the mice abandon the ship immediately as she sinks…
