watched stoner, spies and hayden have violent high sides through the turn 14 15 sectio. looks like stoner is out with torn ligaments and hayden a broken hand.

rossi had several incidents at the same place but hung on.

swantz commented to not blame it on tires or the track that its racing.

I have been here since yesterday and was sitting in that area during qualifying today and saw all 3 crashes. Spies was on time to take the top qualifying spot when he went down. He was able to get back on in the time left in qualifying, but could not improve over his previous time. It was incredible that he was able to ride at all after that crash. Something is going on in that area and I hope we don't see more of that in tomorrow's race. We will be sitting right there.

I did see a lot of Super Teneres parked around the track area in the last two days.

We sat in the NW corner, section J, right in front of turn 14 where all the spills were yesterday. Spies was looking good until he blew his engine. They were doing a teardown and I heard a rumor that the problem they found was that somebody had jumpered out his clutch switch. ???

EDIT: I heard they found a 5 amp mini fuse in Spies's clutch switch and it had Pedrosa's fingerprints on it. >

man was that a disappointment. not sure ben could have kept dani off the podium but his bike seemed setup better than lorenzo's.....right up until it blew up!

hope you had a good trip home.

We got out of town easily before the traffic jams started and headed east in boring I 70 for the first 120 miles and then I took some great country roads on an alternate route home for the last 90.

I was there all weekend. I saw two different black tenere. I honked at one of them as rode past after the race. Was that anyone here?

Great weekend as always. I've been every year. They will be back next year but after that who knows? May have to just start riding to Texas for MotoGP! ::022::

I think Indy has a contract until 2014.

You are correct, sir! What year is this? I got ahead of myself didn't I? I love it and hope it continues past 2014. I hope you can attend next year!

What are the dates for 2013? I looked on the web site and it wouldn't let you know. The provisional calendar is going to be released this weekend at Brno, I understand
