From the WSBK Pressoffice
The 2010 HANNspree FIM Superbike World Championship approaches the final stretch this weekend, with the 11th round of the series taking place at the Nürburgring. Only two rounds will remain after the restart of action in Germany - Imola on Sept. 26 and Magny-Cours on Oct. 3.
Located in western Germany, the Nürburgring is one of the most popular circuits for the riders, as it offers a series of challenges along its 5.137km length and a high degree of rider satisfaction if a 'perfect' lap is achieved. Competition in the World Superbike Championship is far from slowing down as the season begins to wind up, as current leader Max Biaggi (Aprilia Alitalia) has Leon Haslam (Suzuki Alstare) 60 points behind him, but with 150 points up for grabs for any rider who wins the final six individual races.
Both of these riders raced at the Nürburgring last year but neither managed to post a podium finish. They have no shortage of immediate competitors who did, however, with championship third place rider Jonathan Rea (HANNspree Ten Kate Honda) winning the second race in '09, Noriyuki Haga (Ducati Xerox) going second in race one and Carlos Checa, now riding for Althea Ducati, third in each German race. Rea is currently third on 243 points, 130 behind the lead. Checa is fourth, on 204 points.
The long summer break during August has been a welcome one for some riders, but with valuable points up for grabs the mass of WSB riders will be keen to get back into full race mode this weekend. Cal Crutchlow (Yamaha Sterilgarda) pushed himself up to fifth in the championship with his first two wins in WSBK racing last time out at Silverstone. He knows his machine can win at Nürburgring, as eventual champion Ben Spies was victorious on the same model of machine in race one last year. Crutchlow's team-mate James Toseland is a two-time World Superbike Champion, but still looking for his first race success in Yamaha colours. He is sixth in the rankings, only nine points behind Crutchlow.
The fight for the last few top 10 places is already at fever pitch, with Haga, Leon Camier (Alitalia Aprilia), Michel Fabrizio (Ducati Xerox), Troy Corser (BMW Motorrad Motorsport) and Sylvain Guintoli (Suzuki Alstare) closely packed together, from seventh to 11th in the rankings. Even from Crutchlow in fifth to Guintoli in 11th, there is a spread of only 37 points, making almost anything possible in the midfield before season's end.
Since the last round in Silverstone, Max Neukirchner (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) has won a race at the IDM Superbike championship. At his home circuit in Germany he will be particularly keen to make a move back up the championship rankings from his current 18th place.
Shane Byrne (Althea Ducati) is a lonely 12th at present, over 50 points clear of Jakub Smrz (PATA B&G Aprilia) and Ruben Xaus (BMW Motorrad Motorsport).
Ducati privateer Luca Scassa (Supersonic Team) is the last rider inside the top 15 so far, but works Kawasaki Racing Team man Tom Sykes wants to be on the march forward at this round. He will, in his turn, have Lorenzo Lanzi pushing hard to get ahead of him on his DFX Corse Ducati.
Sykes has another new team-mate in the KRT squad this time out, Northern Irish rider Ian Lowry, who is standing in for the injured Chris Vermeulen.
Pedercini Kawasaki team-mates Roger Lee Hayden and Matteo Baiocco will be back in the mix in Germany. Replacing Broc Parkes in the Echo CRS Honda team will be Italian WSB debutant Fabrizio Lai.
In World Supersport, Kenan Sofuoglu (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) now has only one realistic championship challenger, Eugene Laverty (Parkalgar Honda) after the accident suffered by Joan Lascorz (Kawasaki Motocard.com) at Silverstone. Laverty has scored a fabulous six wins so far, but he is still behind three-time race winner Sofuoglu, by 17 points.
In fourth place ParkinGO Triumph BE-1's Chaz Davies is 43 points ahead of his closest challenger, Gino Rea (Intermoto Czech Honda) who scored his first podium last time round at Silverstone.
Ayrton Badovini (BMW Motorrad Italia STK) carried off the overall FIM Superstock 1000 Cup last time out at Silverstone, but at the home country of his machine's manufacturer he will be out to keep his perfect win record intact.
Jeremy Guarnoni (MRS Racing Yamaha) leads his fellow Frenchman Florian Marino (Ten Kate Junior Racing Honda) by 26 points in Superstock 600, with only these two riders in the final fight for the championship now.
The single make Triumph ParkinGO European Series continues apace in Germany, featuring identical Triumph Street Triple R machines, raced by a mix of experienced and amateur riders. The challenge of the Nürburgring is one that all the riders are eagerly anticipating, especially championship leader Fabrizio Perotti, who could win the title this time out if results go his way. Two rounds remain, at the Nürburgring and then the season finale at Magny-Cours.

Hill leads British Superbike standings
From the Team Suzuki News Service
With a win and a second place at Cadwell Park on Monday, Worx Crescent Suzuki's Tommy Hill has finished the first nine-round stage of the British Superbikes Championship with the lead on points.
In an exciting day's racing Hill, riding his Suzuki GSX-R1000, was on top form and after dominating the first race was challenging for the lead again in the second race when it was red flagged (on the 14th lap). In the first race, rival Josh Brookes had taken the early lead but succumbed to an attack from Hill on the eighth lap. Hill then maintained a constant 1:27-minute lap pace while his rivals withered to take the win by a comfortable 5.116 secs.
In the second race Hill had led for 11 laps and was trailing Brookes by just 0.230 secs. after 13 laps when the race was stopped.
"What a fantastic weekend," Hill said. "In that first race I just felt really-really good, I could have made the jump earlier but I was interested to sit behind Josh to see what he was doing.
"In the second race the pace was so fast, something like two seconds faster than it was last year, and maybe it was that or maybe there was small issue with the rear tire but I had a little bit of chatter to deal with. I still felt comfortable and while Josh had passed me when I made a small mistake on the Mountain I felt comfortable and was setting up to repass him when the red flags came out."
Hill's tally from the nine rounds amounts to 287 points, three more than Brookes and six more than Ryuichi Kiyonari. However, with the Showdown phase now beginning, the championship points taken so far are cast aside. The championship will now be decided over the final three rounds (seven races) between the six highest points scorers so far, known as the Title Fighters.
All the title fighters have their championship point tally put on an initial parity of 500, to which is added only the podium points they've scored thus far (podium points have been awarded as three for a win, two for second and one for third). On this basis Hill steps forward into the Showdown as joint leader with Kiyonari on 525 points apiece.

Labelle seventh in Indy Pro Singles
Welland, ON's Mike LaBelle rode the Weirbach Racing Honda to a seventh place finish in last Saturday's AMA Pro Singles Flat Track event at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis.
LaBelle did well to transfer from his heat race, as he scored a fifth place finish despite struggling with a flat front tire and a damaged exhaust.
In the main he settled into a battle with James Rispoli and defending Pro Singles champ Brad Baker for fifth. Less than two-tenths of a second separated the trio at the finish, with Rispoli leading Baker and LaBelle across the line.
"Considering the past couple of finishes I have had, I think a seventh place finish is a good day," said LaBelle, who was coming off a pair of 15th place results, in a press release. "My team was also able to take a bad situation and turn it into an awesome day. I will use this seventh place finish as fuel for the fire coming into the Springfield, IL weekend, which is quickly approaching."
The series continues at Springfield this weekend.
JD Beach won the Indianapolis event.
LaBelle's finish moved him up to sixth in the Pro Singles point standings.

Gerloff completes hat trick; Young fifth
From the USGPRU
Photo by Kendrick Kirk
INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Garrett Gerloff completed the hat trick at the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix, winning Sunday’s Rev’It Moriwaki MD250H Powered by Honda race as well as taking the win on Saturday and qualifying on pole in Friday’s qualifying session.
Gerloff got off to a strong start to take the lead into the first turn and continued to pull away during the race. As in Saturday’s race, a battle for second place developed immediately between Nick McFadden, Jake Lewis, Ryan Matter and Stefano Mesa.
“I definitely got a better start today,” said Gerloff. “I led into turn one and really tried to put my head down and run away. Jake and Nick stayed with me the first couple of laps. I was getting kind of nervous, but I started to pull away little by little and I was monitoring the gap on my pit board.”
Gerloff continued to run faster laps than the group fighting over second, and his margin of victory was 11.33 secs. at the end of the 11-lap race.
McFadden dropped back early in the race after a poor start.
“I got off to a worse start than I did yesterday, and I just dropped back the first three laps,” said McFadden. “After that, I got in a rhythm, put my head down and caught back up to these guys.”
Matter was the young man on the move, drafting past both McFadden and Lewis, who had held down second for the first seven laps. McFadden was shuffled back to fourth, but not for long.
“I sat there for a couple of laps, then made a move,” said McFadden. “With two laps to go, I figured it was getting to the end of the race and I needed to get up there. I made a pass into turn one and held them both off until the end.”
Lewis was shuffled from second back to fourth place with four laps to go. The difference at the finish between the three riders was a mere .228 secs.
Mesa faded to fifth, then was caught and passed on the last lap by Collingwood, ON's Ben Young. Nick Hansen, Grayson Gerloff and Joe Roberts rounded out the top nine positions.
As on Saturday, there was a six-rider race-long battle over 10th place that ended with Kaleb De Keyrel over Max Flinders, Andre Ochs, Tyler Linders, Lex Hartl and Brandon Altmeyer.

Peter Lenz, Teen Motorcycle Racer, Dies at Indy
"The death of 13-year-old motorcycle racer Peter Lenz yesterday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway raises the question: How young is too young for kids participating in inherently dangerous motorsports? It is also sure to fuel debate over how motorsports sanctioning groups balance risk and entertainment when putting together programs (like Sunday’s races) that combine amateur and professional events." -- Jonathan Welsh

USGPRU racer Lenz killed at Indy
Road racer Peter Lenz of Vancouver, WA died from injuries sustained at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday morning.
The 13-year-old Lenz was competing in the USGPRU Rev'It Moriwaki MD250H Challenge Powered by Honda event and was involved in an accident on the warm-up lap for the second race of the weekend. He was transported to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis where he later died from his injuries.
"USGPRU rider Peter Lenz, age 13, from Vancouver, Wash., suffered traumatic injuries in a crash on the warm-up lap of the USGPRU race Sunday morning at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and succumbed to his injuries," said a statement from USGPRU chief steward Stewart Aitken-Cade, published on roadracingworld.com. "The other rider involved in the incident was not injured.
"USGPRU officials send their deepest sympathies and condolences to the Lenz family."
Although the statement did not name the other rider, provisional results published on the Roadracing World website list Xavier Zayat as also crashing on the warm-up lap for the race.
The Lenz family also released a statement that was published on roadracingworld.com.
"On behalf of the Lenz family, we would like to thank Peter's friends and supporters for all their help throughout the years," the release said. "We are deeply saddened by this tragic loss, but know that Peter is racing even faster in the sky."
Lenz was leading the USGPRU national MD250H standings at the time of his accident. On Saturday he had finished fourth in the opening race of the MD250H doubleheader supporting the MotoGP event at Indianapolis.
"Our hearts go out to the parents, family and friends of Peter Lenz, said a statement from Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation president and CEO Jeff Belskus. "Words cannot adequately express the sadness of our company and our employees about this tragic incident and Peter is in our thoughts and prayers."
Blazusiak perfect; Graffunder seventh
Red Bull KTM rider Taddy Blazusiak took home his third straight EnduroCross win at the Pepsi Coliseum in Indianapolis on Friday and further strengthened his points lead.
Blazusiak started the day well winning his heat race. FMF/KTM rider Mike Brown also had a great beginning taking the win in his heat while fellow Christini/KTM rider Geoff Aaron made it a KTM sweep for heat wins also taking a victory.
The last chance was won by RPM/KTM rider Kevin Rookstool, who barely missed qualifying from the semi and was excited to make it into the main in his final attempt.
At the start of the main event it was Brown who nailed the holeshot followed closely by Blazusiak. Brown made a mistake early in the race which allowed Blazusiak to pass for the lead.
Shortly after Brown made another mistake and let Aaron by. Aaron wasn't able to get far as Brown reeled him back in and regained the second place position. However, the runner up position was short lived once Brown crashed in the log area and damaged his bike. Brown did get restarted but wasn't able to move forward due to the damage to his machine.
Aaron also encountered trouble near the end of the moto when he crashed and bent his shift lever on some rocks and spent the remainder of the race stuck in third gear.
Rookstool capitalized on the leaders' mistakes. He got a poor start but was able to charge forward. He eventually moved his bike into third overall for the night behind runner-up Kyle Redmond and the winner for the third time this year, Blazusiak.
"It feels good to continue my win streak. It is unfortunate that the other riders had such bad luck but I am happy I was able to ride mistake free out front and take the win and increase my lead for the championship," remarked Blazusiak.
The next round is in Everett, WA on Sept. 11.

Pedrosa dominant in Indy MotoGP
Dani Pedrosa narrowed the gap on MotoGP Championship leader Jorge Lorenzo to 68 points with seven rounds of the 2010 season remaining by winning the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix on Sunday.
It was the Repsol Honda rider’s third win of the campaign, marking the first time he has achieved three wins in a season in the premier class.
With the temperature hitting a draining 35ºC (56ºC track surface) it was a tough 28-lap contest for all involved.
“I’m really happy with this win and it was an especially tough one because of the heat today," Pedrosa said. "I didn’t make the perfect start but I was quite quick through the first few tight corners and stayed close to the leaders. My rhythm was good today and even though [Ben] Spies was strong in front I was able to close him down and make the pass.
“I’m really pleased with the performance of my bike because it was fast on the straights and also was working well in the corners. When I was out in front it was quite hard to stay focused and at the end of the race I was really tired - but I’m very happy because last year I crashed when I could have won and now I have made up for it.”
Starting from the second row Pedrosa was on the pace early on and by lap two he was in second position, as he set his sights on pole holder Spies. On the end of the seventh lap the Spaniard overtook the rookie on the start/finish straight and never relinquished the lead, eventually crossing the line 3.575 secs. clear of Spies.
For the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider second place marked his best result to date and a second podium in what has already been a fantastic debut season. Spies started from pole – the first of his MotoGP career – and his race result capped off a great weekend which also saw him confirmed as a factory Yamaha rider for 2011.
“I'm really happy to have got my best result in MotoGP in front of the American crowd and at a track as famous as Indianapolis,” said the 26-year-old. “I always said I wanted my best result in my home race, so it's mission accomplished.
“After the pole position I got a great start and it felt good to be out front for the first time in MotoGP. But I didn't have the pace for Dani today and he rode a great race. I'm happy because I didn't make too many mistakes when I was out in front and I was consistent for the whole race. When Dani passed me I knew I couldn't follow him, so I let him go and concentrated on keeping a gap to Jorge in third and that's what I achieved.”
Completing the podium was Championship leader Lorenzo who had started from second on the grid but dropped to fifth at the start of the race. That failed to affect his concentration however and he battled his way past Andrea Dovizioso and into third just before the midway point of the race, finishing just over three seconds off Spies as his phenomenal record of having placed in the top two in every race this season was finally broken.
"Of course I shouldn't be disappointed with third place but at the same time I'm not happy with my race today, I didn't ride as well as I could have and I didn't get a good start,” said the 23-year-old Lorenzo. “The conditions were incredibly hard and I simply didn't have the physical strength to push as hard or do the same times I did in practice; it was like a race in Malaysia!
"The track was so slippery and it was very difficult to use the tires as you wanted to, I think honestly I'm quite lucky to have finished third today. The good thing is we took some points and now I have to concentrate on recovering before Misano because we don't have much time."
A complicated weekend for Valentino Rossi (Fiat Yamaha) ended with the reigning World Champion placing fourth in the race, as he won the battle of the Italians with Repsol Honda rider Dovizioso who took fifth.
Nicky Hayden was sixth having started from the front row for the first time in his Ducati career.
Rookies Marco Simoncelli (San Carlo Honda Gresini) and Álvaro Bautista (Rizla Suzuki) impressed with seventh and eight places respectively, with Aleix Espargaró (Pramac Racing) and Héctor Barberá (Páginas Amarillas Aspar) completing the top 10.
Loris Capirossi, Hiroshi Aoyama – on his return from injury – and Randy de Puniet were the final three riders to finish the race.
Suffering the disappointment of DNFs were Marco Melandri (lap two) on his 200th Grand Prix start, Casey Stoner, who lost the front end of his Ducati Desmosedici GP10 (lap eight), Colin Edwards who was forced to retire with rear tire issues (lap 17), and Mika Kallio who crashed in turn 10 when he hit a bump on lap 18.
Lorenzo moves onto 251 points with Pedrosa now on 183 in second in the standings. Dovizioso is third on 126, with Stoner now seven points behind in fourth. Rossi remains in fifth while Spies moves up to sixth.
Toni Elías won the Moto2 Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix with a characteristically measured ride on Sunday, taking a third consecutive GP win for the first time in his career as he tightened his grip on the inaugural title.
The Gresini Racing rider now leads the overall standings by 67 points after 10 rounds, having topped the podium ahead of pole man Julián Simón (Mapfre Aspar) and Scott Redding (Marc VDS Racing Team).
Elías and Simón became involved in a duel for top spot with Redding watching from third as he kept tabs on the duo, and six laps from the end Elías made a superb overtake round the outside of Simón to assume the lead. He held that to the end, eventually crossing the line just over four-tenths of a second ahead of his compatriot.
Redding took his first Moto2 podium as he crossed in third, just under four seconds behind Simón having been strong throughout the weekend, with Andrea Iannone (Fimmco Speed Up) fourth having started from way back on the seventh row.
Simone Corsi completed the top five having made an admirable recovery from the back of the grid.
Sergio Gadea (Tenerife 40 Pons), Thomas Lüthi (Interwetten Moriwaki), Gabor Talmacsi (Fimmco Speed Up), wild card Jason DiSalvo (GP Tech) and Anthony West (MZ Racing) completed the top 10.
Iannone remains second in the standings, with Lüthi and Simón level on 108 points in third and fourth.
Roger Lee Hayden finished 17th on his American Honda-backed, Erion-prepared Moriwaki.
Nico Terol’s first consecutive GP wins came with victory at Indianapolis on Sunday as the Bancaja Aspar rider won the 125cc contest, his third of the season and on the same track he won his first World Championship race in 2008.
Terol eventually crossed the line 4.995 secs. clear of Sandro Cortese (Avant Mitsubishi Ajo), with Pol Espargaró (Tuenti Racing) completing the podium in what was a typically eventful 125cc race.
Marc Márquez (Red Bull Ajo Motorsport) looked to be pulling away to a dominant victory in the early part of the race and on lap seven he set a new lap record and was soon over 2.5 secs. clear of Terol. However, a crash at turn 10 with 15 laps remaining saw Márquez scrambling back onto his Derbi and he returned to the race in 14th place, as Terol assumed first position.
Terol’s win was the 20th successive 125cc victory for Spanish riders, and moved him into second in the overall standings on 168 points, with Márquez on 172. Espargaró is third on 167 points.

Spies claims first MotoGP pole
Ben Spies will start a MotoGP race from pole position for the first time on Sunday at Indianapolis after the rookie laid down a fantastic hot lap in qualifying on Saturday.
The Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rookie posted a best time of 1:40.105 on his 26th of 28 laps, delighting the home crowd and enjoying another highlight in what has already been an eventful weekend following confirmation of his factory ride for 2011.
“This is a great feeling for me to get my first MotoGP pole position and for it to come in front of the American crowd and here at Indianapolis with all the history makes it even more special,” said a delighted Spies. “And I'm glad for the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team too. This team helped catapult me into this position and I've been trying to give as much for them as I can, even though I'll be moving to Yamaha's factory team next year.
“I've got to say I really put it on the line this afternoon. I'd come so close at Brno a couple of weeks ago to getting my first pole position and I really wanted to finish the job on home soil. There was no way coming into this weekend that I thought this result was possible. But I've been able to do it and now I'm going to concentrate on getting a good start and giving it everything in the race. I'd love a podium and my best result at home but I'm not going to get ahead of myself. But right now I'll certainly enjoy today.”
Spies was 0.220 secs. quicker than Championship leader and last year’s race winner Jorge Lorenzo, who took his Fiat Yamaha M1 machine round in the second fastest time, and there was further joy for the American fans as Nicky Hayden took his first Ducati front-row place with third.
Lorenzo was happy with second in Saturday’s qualifying session as he maintained his record of having qualified on the front row for every race so far this season.
Given the soaring temperatures which saw the track measurement rise to over 50ºC and therefore affect grip, Lorenzo was content with a central spot on the front row.
"This was a really difficult session because it was so hot and the track was very slippery and bumpy, it was hard to know what to expect,” said Lorenzo. “Luckily we managed a good lap and I'm happy with second place, Ben's lap was amazing so well done to him.”
Hayden was smiling after taking his first front-row start with Ducati. The 29-year-old, who had led the session at one stage, was just 0.231 secs. off top spot.
"I finally got my first front row with Ducati - it only took a year and a half,” quipped Hayden. “We're really happy for it though especially because it's so important for tomorrow's race.
“If I want to be running up front tomorrow I have to be there from the start and I told Juan [Martinez, crew chief] before the session that we were due a front row and today was the day to get it.

Hayden with Ducati for two more years
From Ducati Press
Ducati has announced a renewed contract with Nicky Hayden that will see the American rider stay with the Italian factory's MotoGP effort for a further two years. His signature completes a new look of the Ducati Marlboro Team line-up for 2011, which will see the 29-year-old line up alongside Valentino Rossi.
“We are really pleased that Nicky will be staying with us for the next two years," said Filippo Preziosi, Ducati Corse director. "It is no secret that he is a rider who never gives up, his whole racing history shows it. As a person his tenacity is an example for us all because he shows us that nothing is impossible if you truly believe. His progress since arriving at Ducati has been impressive and I am sure this trend will continue in the future.
"Nicky is also a special rider because of his attention to every detail and for him having Valentino as his team-mate means a huge contribution towards the development of an even more competitive motorcycle. I think it is these characteristics that have won the hearts of all the Ducatisti and that is the reason why a Ducati is the bike for him right now.”
Hayden, who over the past two seasons has won over the Ducatisti with his positive and determined attitude, currently lies sixth in the MotoGP World Championship standings.
"I am very proud to be signing for Ducati again," Hayden said. "Last year I felt like I rode for Ducati but now I really feel as if I am a Ducati rider. The team, sponsors and Ducati fans have really taken me in and supported me a lot and I really hope to pay them back with the results they deserve.
"Next year I'll be teamed with some guy named Rossi who knows a little something about bikes! We're going to have a strong squad - I won't predict results but I have no doubt this team will have some real passion, real worth ethic and a lot of fun. It is the start of a new era at Ducati and it is an honour for me to be a part of it."
Gerloff wins, Young 10th at Indy
From the USGPRU
INDIANAPOLIS, IN - Garrett Gerloff took the lead on the second lap and never looked back, taking a convincing win in the Rev'It Moriwaki MD250H Powered by Honda race on a sunny Saturday afternoon at the 2010 Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix.
Starting from pole, Gerloff was beat to turn one by Jake Lewis with Peter Lenz in pursuit. Gerloff went past Lenz and set out after Lewis, who led the first lap. Gerloff went past on lap two and immediately pulled out a lead that grew each lap.
“I was a little worried,” said Gerloff. “Peter got around me after I ran off the track a little bit. I passed Peter and caught back up to Jake, just trying to keep focused. I tried to pull away and not have as much pressure at the end if he was right behind me.”
Lewis tried valiantly to hang with Gerloff, going half a second faster than he had qualified, but to no avail.
“I was trying to hang on and pushing it to the limit, but he was just going really good today,” said Lewis. “Halfway through the race I looked back and saw Nick [McFadden] and Peter right there, and I was like ‘Gosh, I didn’t know they were still there’, so I started pushing even harder. Towards the end of the race, my foot started slipping off the peg and I made some silly mistakes and they caught right up. Nick passed me after the finish, it was close but that was good.”
McFadden was able to go with the lead group at the start, and passed Lenz on lap four. Lenz latched on and pushed McFadden to the end, both riders turning their fastest laps on the last lap as they saw they were closing on Lewis.
“I was just trying to catch up after getting a bad start,” McFadden said. “Stefano Mesa passed me going off the back straightaway, and I got separated from him and Peter a pretty good ways. I just put my head down and tried to catch up. After I caught Stefano and got past Peter, I could see we were reeling in Jake. About halfway through the race, Peter showed me a wheel and I just outbroke him and kept my head down.”
Stefano Mesa held on to finish fifth, four seconds ahead of Ryan Matter, who finished four seconds ahead of Joe Roberts in seventh place.
Grayson Gerloff won a race-long battle over eighth place ahead of Nick Hansen, Collingwood, ON's Ben Young, Andre Ochs and Austin Medrano, with the five riders nose-to-tail throughout the race.

Aspar Team to continue with Ducati
The Aspar Team has announced that it will continue to contest the MotoGP World Championship with Ducati next season, having recently agreed a new deal at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
The Spanish team will extend the relationship it has already established with the Borgo Panigale manufacturer, which has given its unconditional support to the project headed by Jorge Martínez 'Aspar' since it began.
The commitment of both parties has ensured that Héctor Barberá has been able to make an impressive start to his rookie season in the premier class.
The recent announcement that Valentino Rossi has signed with Ducati gives the Aspar Team extra satisfaction and motivation, given that the technical expertise of the Italian superstar combined with the experience of Filippo Preziosi, creator of the Ducati Desmosedici - the MotoGP title-winning bike in 2007 - can make it an even more competitive package.
The next objective for the Aspar Team is to extend the deal with Ducati into 2012 and Martínez is already in negotiations with the team's sponsors to expand to two riders.
“I am very happy to extend our contract with Ducati for another season,” said Martínez. “Ever since we crossed paths everybody in Borgo Panigale has been completely committed to our project and the relationship is magnificent so it is an honour for us to extend it.
“Aside from this we have the news that Valentino Rossi has signed for Ducati. The Desmosedici is already one of the best bikes on the grid and I'm sure that with his input it will be even better and more manageable. His collaboration will benefit us a lot because I am sure we will have the same bike."
Stoner opens Indy action on top
Casey Stoner started the weekend fastest at Indianapolis with a best lap of 1:40.884 in the first practice on Friday, the only rider in the hour-long session to get under the 1:41 mark.
Having not raced in last year’s Indy round due to illness Stoner spent the initial part of the hour guiding himself round the circuit and reacquainting himself with its layout.
"For the first two laps I didn't remember anything about the track from two years ago but after that it all came back pretty quickly,” said the 24-year-old. “This is quite a unique circuit because of the different types of surface and the amount of bumps out there so we had to improvise a little today because it's not easy to pick the right line.”
The Australian was running with the new front fork on his Desmosedici GP10 which he tested at Brno, and the result appeared to be more than positive as he enjoyed solid control over his machine.
“We made a good start but I'm sure everybody will work things out better tomorrow and close the gap,” he stated. “Having said that this is a good situation to be in on the first day and for the first time in a while we feel there is potential to improve.
"We tried the new front fork today that we tested in Brno and it felt good, although this is not the kind of circuit where you can really push so it's hard to say if it improved the package."
Last year’s race winner Jorge Lorenzo was quick throughout the practice and led until 15 minutes from the end, his best time of 1:41.109 eventually leaving him 0.225 secs. off Stoner as the Fiat Yamaha rider prepared to try and stretch his 77-point Championship lead this weekend.
"I rode really well today and improved a lot during the practice. The rear was sliding a lot, maybe because the temperature is so high; it's a lot hotter than last year,” said the 23-year-old. “I think the level between the top riders here is more or less the same and everyone is looking very strong.”
Nicky Hayden, keen to impress his home crowd, got off to a positive start as he set the third best time but inside the final 15 minutes he went down at turn 13, a worrying moment for the Ducati Team rider as he protected the left wrist he injured at Brno. The American escaped further damage to his arm despite landing on it, and was back out on track as he held onto third spot at just over half a second off his team-mate.
"At the start of the session I was feeling really good and I was going quite fast on a hard tire,” said Hayden. “When we put the soft tire in I felt even better and maybe got a little too excited because that's when I made a mistake. I was off line a little but I didn't force it, I just let it go because it's only first practice but 'bam'! I was down immediately. It was a bummer because my suspension guy had come up with some settings that were working really good and I really liked the feel.
“At least I didn't do any more damage to the wrist - all I got was a friction burn on my arm from digging it in trying to save the wrist."
Repsol Honda rider Dani Pedrosa, who was in fast form at last year’s Indy meeting, was fourth quickest as he led his factory RC212V around in a best time of 1:41.421. That placed the Spaniard four-hundredths of a second ahead of reigning World Champion Valentino Rossi, who was fifth on his Fiat Yamaha M1.
The American presence was enforced by Colin Edwards as the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider went sixth fastest, with Andrea Dovizioso (Repsol Honda) and another home favourite Ben Spies in the top eight.
Rookie Spies had a crash with six minutes remaining but walked away unharmed having been the final rider to get within a second of Stoner, on the day his ride with the factory Yamaha team for 2011 was announced.
The top 10 in the session was completed by Aleix Espargaró (Pramac Racing) and Marco Melandri (San Carlo Honda Gresini Team), with Hiroshi Aoyama (Interwetten Honda MotoGP) 16th on his return to competitive action after nine weeks out injured.
Scott Redding’s 22nd and final lap of the first Moto2 practice at Indianapolis on Friday placed the 17-year-old Brit at the top of the timesheet. An effort of 1:46.728 left the Marc VDS Racing Team rider 15-thousandths of a second ahead of Championship leader Toni Elías in a confidence-boosting start to his weekend.
Gresini Racing man Elías beat title rival Andrea Iannone (Fimmco Speed Up) to second by 0.125 secs. as the duo completed the top three, with Simone Corsi (JiR Moto2) just under two-hundredths back in fourth spot and also the final rider to duck under 1:47.

"Even more alarming are reports of the NYPD conducting allegedly unconstitutional motorcycle-only checkpoints, and regularly ticketing riders based upon incorrect interpretation of motor vehicle regulations. One of the most telling cases is that of Karen Perrine, a graphic designer from Staten Island, who was ticketed in October 2005 for riding her motorcycle in the high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lane on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. Armed with the knowledge that federal law permits motorcyclists to ride in HOV lanes on federally funded roadways, Perrine decided to fight the ticket in court with the assistance of the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA)." -- Honey Berk
