Tue, 30 Aug 2011 21:26:11 +0000 http://www.motorcycledaily.com/?p=17050#comment-27390 i believe 'renzo said his front tire was toast after 5 laps. while many others (like casey's) were basically fine at race end. they had set-up issue 'caused by the new surface and weren't able to sort it by sunday. plus bridgestone apparently didn't send the proper spec hard compound tires everybody had asked for prior to going to indy. even casey wasn't amused, but fortunately the 212's adapted the best. i believe ‘renzo said his front tire was toast after 5 laps. while many others (like casey’s) were basically fine at race end. they had set-up issue ’caused by the new surface and weren’t able to sort it by sunday. plus bridgestone apparently didn’t send the proper spec hard compound tires everybody had asked for prior to going to indy. even casey wasn’t amused, but fortunately the 212′s adapted the best.

Handling problems aside, when the bike jumps out of gear when entering a corner......straight is often the only choice you've got.

At least he and Rossi could put on a show off of the bike. All the other guys are too damn robotic. Ahhh, i miss the flair of his actions. At least he and Rossi could put on a show off of the bike.

That was truly painful to watch. Starting in second only to slip back to ninth before turn 3? Man, bad news. Let's get it together Ben! Otherwise he was great. Stoner is a man on fire right now. I think he's pretty much untouchable. He certainly seems to have something to prove, a chip on his shoulder, an air of superiority. I don't like that attitude, but he's certainly earned it.

Spies will eventually prove to be the better, faster and certainly classier of the two. Stoner is at a level beyond everyone else right now and the championship is his to lose.

Look at Spies and Lorenzo enjoying what Rossi developed for Yamaha...

It kept getting stuck in neutral. Amazing he did as well as he did. Rossi had gearbox problems throughout the race. It kept getting stuck in neutral. Amazing he did as well as he did.

That'a a pretty tough combo to beat. I was pretty disappointed with Lorenzo yesterday. I know the bike wasn't working great, but it looked to me like he wasn't pushing very hard either.
