MotoGP Indy ***SPOILER ALERT***

**pontifex** · 08-19-12, 01:16 PM

what a cursed season for Spies. I thought (and was hoping) he would win it this year. Would have been a nice way to go out.

**Lars** · 08-19-12, 01:26 PM

This just added to a completely absurd season for Spies...

**Slowpoke387** · 08-19-12, 05:01 PM

Did ya see Greg White interviewing him in the pits? Poor kid looked disgusted. Pretty much summed up the entire season with one look on his face. Almost can't blame him for leaving. ALMOST, lol.

**kumpy** · 08-19-12, 05:22 PM

lots of crashes for lots of the top guys, then bike problems for Spies, I guess that's just how it goes.

**Slowpoke387** · 08-19-12, 05:43 PM

That track seems really sketchy. Waaay more crashes than usual. Even the Harleys. Poor PJ ....

I was incredibly dissapointed seeing Spies blow that motor. My heart sunk for the kid.

Yea lots of crashes. Pedrosa rode the shit out of that Repsol though! Thought he was going to lose it there for a minute - I might have flinched in my seat on that one.

1st time at Indy for me - and I loved it... FYI

When's the last time anyone saw a factory team lose a motor in a race? I can't remember anything for the last few years.

Back to back to back mechanical issues for Spies, I was disgusted to watch this happen yet again.How come # 99 never has any issues?
What a dull race, no competition any where, the only highlight for me was the 40 yr old lap rider p1ss1ng Lorenzo off by not allowing him to pass.

Watch out Rossi, be careful what you are getting into....

**Slowpoke387** · 08-19-12, 10:25 PM

Anyone read the Spies post race interview? Kind of hints at the possible roots of his departure from Yamaha....

I think that was Aaron Yates wasn't it? He's always been an ass.

**Slowpoke387** · 08-20-12, 12:03 AM

I thought it was Rapp, and he was going as fast as he could. Welcome to my world Mr. Rapp, lol.

**a13x** · 08-20-12, 03:02 AM

It was Rapp & both Rapp & Lorenzo said no blue flags were shown.

No doubt.
Not only were there crashes, but nasty high-sides!
Hayden, Stoner, Spies, and ??? (one of the CRT riders that landed directly on his head breaking 3 vertebrae) were all victim to an unpredictable track surface.

Hector Barbera. not a CRT rider. he's expected back for the mid september round.
