Then, of course, the Indy MotoGP:
We parked on the backstraight;
The Doctor;
Nicky, qualifying;
Dovisosio falling in practice. In the GP, he hounded Hayden but couldn't pass.
Marco Melandri at a buck seventy five on the infield backstraight;
The Rizla Suzukis, warming up. At least they looked good.
Kevin Schwantz again, this time on his '93 World Championship RGV Suzuki 500 2-stroke. First time I'd heard one since Laguna Seca '88
First-lap freighttrain. Things would soon change;
Rossi chasing Pedrosa, First the Doctor would fall (right in front of us), then Dani.
Lorenzo all alone after the top two guys crashed out;
Nicky, running fifth, which would turn into third;
With Dovososio hot on his tail and his thirsty Duc running in lean mode, Nick was still able to hold him off;
Rossi circulates in last place on a cracked-up bike. He soon retired to the pits;
Better times before the fall;
Colin Edwards, on his way to fifth place;
Fastest guy on the track, Dani Pedrosa. He came from a half-lap down after falling to finish tenth;
Hayden celebrates his first podium finish in a coon's age;
