Rain. The first day of practice prior to the Indianapolis GP took place under the rainTherefore, in addition to the things to keep in mind when riding on a new circuit, we must add the difficulties of riding in the rain. And in addition, it must be borne in mind that if the conditions turn dry today or tomorrow, a large percentage of the marks, settings and work will not be worth too much.
We are going to recount this afternoon what happened yesterday on the spectacular Indianapolis track, just as we will attend qualifying training, remember that this time it is in the afternoon, and that if things continue like this (with rain), we will have surprises in all categories. The provisional classification once the first day is over, is nothing short of peculiar, and if not, let's see the pictures we have at the moment.
In 125cc the surprise has given her Lorenzo Zanetti, by placing first in the provisional classification, after riding in the rain all the time.
With a time of 1'58.491, Zanetti led the table yesterday, ahead of Scott Redding, Andrea Ianonne (who seems to be especially good in water…), Mike di Meglio and Marc Márquez, well positioned 1,124s behind Zanetti. Ninth and tenth were Efrén Vázquez and Nico Terol, 13th was Joan Olivé, Pol Espargaró was 17th, and behind, 20 and 21 classified, Sergio Gadea and Esteve Rabat. Problems for Pablo Nieto, who did not classify for exceeding the time limit with respect to Zanetti.
In 250cc, Abbraham was placed first provisionally, with a record of 2'02.529 (keep an eye on the data), ahead of Aoyama, Kallio, Laverty and Debón, the best Spaniard in the category. The rest of the Spaniards, Julián Simón 8th, Héctor Barberá 11th, Héctor Faubel 13th, Aleix Espargaró and Manuel Hernández 16th and 17th respectively, and Álvaro Bautista very behind, in twenty-second position, more than six and a half seconds ahead.
The MotoGP surprise starred her Anthony West, with a provisional pole ahead of all the favorites, and a time of 1'53.034, updated to today at 1'54.274. West therefore commanded the first two MotoGP sessions, and in FP2 (which just ended recently), Chris Vermeulen scored no less than 7 tenths a second. The truth, improving. Among the favorites, and the favorites for the World Cup… we have Valentino Rossi in fourth position today, with a time of 1'55.425, while Jorge Lorenzo, Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa are located in seventh, eighth and ninth positions respectively. Toni Elías has set the 16th best record.
We will be attentive to the qualifying session tonight, to see if the conditions improve, or if on the contrary we continue to have rain.
