MotoGP Field Focused On Indianapolis

Following a well-deserved two week break, the MotoGP field will come together at the famous Brickyard for the 2nd United States GP this year to once again battle it out for on-track supremacy.

The biggest news ahead of the Indianapolis race was that Italian Valentino Rossi will be going back to the Factory Yamaha Team next season. This has ended the speculation around Rossi’s future, yet has created new hype around who will be filling Rossi's spot next season at Ducati.

Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo will be aiming to extend his championship lead at the top of the table in Indianapolis where he won in 2009. Last year the Lorenzo struggled at the track, yet looks in good form at the moment, which will make him one of the favourites to take win the race.

Dani Pedrosa and Casey Stoner will be challenging from the off, with Stoner in particular good form after his terrific performance in Laguna Seca. The Australian also won at Indianapolis last year ahead of Pedrosa in second.

Italian Andrea Dovizioso heads to the Brickyard looking to add to his podium tally this season, whilst holding off the challenges from his British teammate Cal Crutchlow, who is still chasing his first step on the MotoGP rostrum. Germany’s Stefan Bradl will look to close the gap to the Englishman and continue to improve in his first premier class season. Former MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden will be firing on all cylinders to put on a good performance as he tackles his home race.

Italian legend Valentino Rossi will not be taking things lightly and will look to put in a better showing than at Laguna Seca, where he crashed out on the last lap. Spain's Álvaro Bautista will aim to finish as top satellite Honda once more and rekindle some of the form that saw him take pole and fourth place at Silverstone earlier this year.

American Ben Spies will hope for a serious turn of fortunes as he heads to the Brickyard where he came third last year. Spaniard Héctor Barberá has not recovered from his broken fibula and tibia in time and will be replaced by Toni Elías. Karel Abraham will be fully fit and no doubt hopeful of finishing with a much needed good result.

The CRT contingent is visiting the legendary race track with Power Electronics Aspar duo of Frenchman Randy de Puniet and Spaniard Aleix Espargaró tied on 33 points at the top of the pack. They will be joined by Italian Michele Pirro, Speed Master’s Mattia Pasini, Britain's James Ellison, Italian Danilo Petrucci and Avintia Blusens pair of Yonny Hernandez and Iván Silva. American Colin Edwards will be contesting the race on-board his Suter-BMW machine. Attack Performance, who failed to qualify for Laguna Seca with rider Steve Rapp, will be back for its second wildcard entry at the Brickyard, and will be joined by Aaron Yates riding a GPTech CRT bike with a BCL chassis and a Suzuki GSX-R1000 engine.
