A red car has won this year carried 500 miles by Dario Franchitti, a motorcycle of the same color has commanded the first MotoGP practice session at Indianapolis. This is the Ducati Desmosedici GP10 of Casey Stoner in one of his last appearances with the Borgo Panigale, but legitimizing the best contract offers itself as a leader in the second American trip in the world. Three times under the wall dell’1’41 “best reference final lap in 1’40″ 884 22 laps along well, a lot compared to its usual standards.

Good sign for the 2007 World Champion who has promised a victory before moving to Ducati / Honda to return next season, trying to beat “Ironman” Jorge Lorenzo in second place already paying a little more than 2 / 10 in comparison stopwatch unable dell’1’41 to beat the wall. “ From his second script, is the “race pace” for a few laps approached by Stoner and, early in the session, including Ben Spies, only to fly to the ground in the last minute to turn 13 in one of his fastest laps (it was below 31 milliseconds to T1) losing ground in the standings (8 th after being in the head).

And Valentino Rossi? Only the last staff around the “save” from a position in the standings otherwise problematic fifth, but recovered by 7 / 10, traveling to all 60 minutes of the session with a (minimum) at a disadvantage compared to the leading drivers. In contrast to Stoner, the long pauses and gestures seem to leave the pits not bode well for this first weekend after the announcement of his move to Ducati, also seeing the comparison with other competitive Yamaha, Colin Edwards see a renewed the sixth time.

Despite a fall in assets, hitting back with my left hand aching since Brno, Nicky Hayden feels the air of home wins and the 3rd time on a circuit where he finished on the podium in both 2008 (2 °) than in 2009 (3 °, the first podium with Ducati). Among the top 10 also included Andrea Dovizioso with the seventh time, Aleix Espargaro surprising with the 9th time trial, leaving behind the Honda Gresini pair in the order made by Marco Melandri and Marco Simoncelli. Alvaro Bautista, 14 °, is the first of the Suzuki riders just ahead of team-mate Loris Capirossi to return back Hiroshi Aoyama and Randy De Puniet still not the best, fully justified the disadvantage of 2 “one from the top.
