    Don't like to see Racers hurt - Indie Practice Crashes

    Three of the best from an elite group of racers:

    Hayden, Spies and Stoner

    You have to wonder about the condition of the track?

    or is it simply a coincidence that these great riders came to grief in the same qualifying session?

    Maybe the Brickpit is more suited to cars!

      We might be 12,000 miles away but our news reports have shown coverage of all three crashes.

      Does MotorGP get any news coverage over there?

      Maybe because the current world champion is Australian we get more news.

      Stoner may suffer from a fracture in the left ankle after a huge highsider!


      Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.


      Couldn't find spies crash!

      anyone?

        They just wanna win real bad.

        Only the teams know what the problem is in that turn, and they're gonna keep their knowledge private.

          Hayden is out of the race with broken bones in his hand. Spies is debatable as he was unconcious for a while so its down to the race medic if they allow him to race.
          Stoner has torn ligaments in his ankle so he could race if he decides to or may may choose to cry out (which he is good at). mind you stoners crash was massive, shattered the rear wheel! dont see that very often

          Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!

            No, there is no ball in MotoGP , so it's completely ignored in the US media

            Fortunately, there is the web,



            Spies 1st in warm up, Stoner 6th

                Yeah, but find a mention of it on the national media, like who sits on the pole.

                Was that in the Trib this AM? On any local Tv or radio station? You can find it buried on ESPN website

                Speed carries every MotoGP, so Indy is nothing special

                  As usual Stoner gets bagged because he exercises his right to free speech.

                  The results speak for themselves.
