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

[Johno]

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!

So where's the video ?

[Johno]

All three crashes on our news reports

So where's the video ?

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.

Couldn't find spies crash!

anyone?

[Buffalo Bill]

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

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

"Completely ignored?"

It's being broadcast on Speed channel this afternoon.

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.
