Stoner wheelie (no spoiler)

[brady]

Anyone notice Stoner's extremely crossed up wheelie on corner exit on a hot lap (approx 4:30 left in qualifying)? Looked like he was showboating...during a qualifying lap.

He is an animal! What the hell was that furry thing he almost hit?

That wheelie was insane - didn't appear to be showboating to me though, just hard on the gas.

Superbikeplanet says it was a badger. Looked like an otter or weasel to me though. Looked a little long & skinny to be a badger??

I was watching , but must have flipped during a commercial & missed that part .

I didn't think the wheelie was the show-off part, just how intentionally it seemed he crossed up the front while it was airborne.

looks like an otter Casey Stoner dodges an 'Otter' in practice @ Indianapolis - YouTube

Reports I saw said it was a beaver (looks like a flat tail). Who knows, but at least it's still alive. Didn't a bird get destroyed during an AMA race a few years back? Racetrack wildlife is always a pucker moment.

I didn't see the warmup wheelie but a bunch of them were doing crossed up wheelies exiting T4. Stoner in particular. I think it was mostly cause he was so hard on the gas and cause of the curbing.

That was probably a honey badger. Those things don't give a shit about racing.

yeah, I noticed others doing it crossed up during the race, but mostly the Hondas .
