Indianapolis Motor Speedway set to host MotoGP until 2014

Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation President and CEO, Jeff Belskus, has been in attendance at this weekend's Gran Premio Aperol di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini at the Misano World Circuit in order to meet with Dorna Sports CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta, and they have agreed to extend the contract.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been hosting MotoGP since 2008 and the new agreement will see the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix feature on the MotoGP calendar until at least 2014.

Lorenzo claims Misano for Yamaha with perfect victory

The reigning World Champion was quick off the line from second position, securing the front spot from Championship leader Casey Stoner in the first corner. As the Australian put the pressure on, Lorenzo responded, delivering an untouchable pace to gradually increase his lead. His flawless performance also delivered the new track record for the circuit on his 12th lap with a 1’33.906.

Lorenzo was joined on the podium by legendary Yamaha rider, three time World Champion Wayne Rainey to accept the trophies. Rainey made an emotional return to Misano this weekend for the first time in eighteen years as part of Yamaha’s 50th Anniversary of Grand Prix racing.

Ben Spies worked hard today, battling the hot and humid conditions with a less than perfect set up. Having started from fourth, the Texan initially dropped to seventh before slowly reeling in and passing local hero Valentino Rossi. Having dispatched the Italian, the hunt began for fifth and sixth place riders Simoncelli and Dovizioso. Spies was able to close the gap to less than 0.2 of a second but the battling Italians made it impossible to make a clean pass, finishing in sixth position.

Jorge Lorenzo:
"Today has been an incredible day for us. I delivered a good race; it was a very tough and long one. Most importantly we won again and also reduced our gap to Casey. I want to dedicate this victory to Wayne who returned to Misano this weekend and I want to say thanks to all my team for their hard work. Now we have two weeks before Aragon, I hope to continue in this shape in my country. Tomorrow we will try the 1000cc Yamaha again; I am looking forward to riding my future bike. This has been one of the best days of my career!"

Ben Spies:
“We started out with an OK set up but we didn’t really go forward all weekend, struggling a lot with edge grip. I wasn’t having a great feeling with the front either so we tried something new in warm up this morning - which was honestly a disaster. We changed the front end of the bike dramatically before the race which proved to be good but took a few laps to get confidence in as it was such a big change. Once I got around Rossi I got more comfortable and was able to catch Dovi and Simoncelli, but was still struggling with edge grip and couldn’t get close enough to strike. I tried as hard as I could but just didn’t translate into top five this time. I need to say thanks to the team for all their hard work trying to solve the issues this weekend.”

Yamaha Factory Racing press release

Kubica expected to drive again soon

Daniel Morelli, Manager of Robert Kubica, believes the Pole will be able to step back into the cockpit of either a car or simulator in October to determine his full condition. The 26-year-old is still recovering from injuries sustained during a rally crash in February, but Morelli is hopeful that further progress will be made in the near future.

"In October we think that Robert can put a helmet on to give a message of what he will be capable of doing," Morelli said at Monza on Friday. "We are not talking about Formula 1 right away, but it is important that Robert can start to drive. Whether it is a simulator or a car on a race track is not really important, the important thing is the final step is achieved."

"We don't have anymore concern about the final outcome of Robert’s general recovery. Of course we must be positive and it is important to be positive in this kind of situation, but Robert is working really, really hard."

Morelli went on to explain that Kubica is coping well with his physiotherapy programme, but admits that 'nature has to do its work' with the nerve damage.

"The doctors and the physiotherapists tell him to slow down sometimes because he is doing too much," he added. "But it is better to slow him down rather than the opposite way around. I am here to say that we have good news.

"We still need nature to do its work because the nerves must complete their recovery, but we do not have any concrete obstacle. It is just a question of time now. Robert is a Formula 1 driver so if he can drive a Formula Renault car, then he can drive an F1 car.

"F1 cars nowadays are not physically demanding, so I would say it is probably more complicated to drive a GP2 car than an F1 car."

Alonso: We are still lacking pace

Fernando Alonso says it will be a struggle to repeat his Monza victory of 12 months ago this weekend, explaining that Ferrari is lacking pace compared to ‘the best’ in Italy this weekend. The two-time Champion was the fifth fastest man on Friday, over half a second adrift of McLaren rival Lewis Hamilton’s fastest time in morning practice.

"Racing at Monza is always exciting, especially if you are a Ferrari driver," said Alonso. "The warmth of the fans is amazing and you can feel it. However, from a technical point of view, today was just a Friday like any other: we worked a lot on comparing different aerodynamic solutions as well as on evaluating different set-up choices on the car.

"Now we must put everything together and try and make the right choices. Honestly, I think we lack a bit of performance compared to the best, even if there are still the same unknowns relating to Fridays, especially those linked to fuel loads.

"However, we have to be realistic: the car is more or less the one we had in Spa, apart from specific updates to cope with the fact this track requires low aerodynamic downforce. Sure, it would be nice to repeat last year’s performance, but we know that will be very difficult. You can’t create a miracle in two weeks, but we will do our utmost to give the fans something to cheer about."

The Spaniard also took time to reflect on his position in the championship, admitting that stealing second place from Red Bull's Mark Webber is a very realistic prospect.

"What is my motivation like for this final part of the season? I am a very competitive person and I don’t like losing," he added. "It’s true, this year that’s happened quite often, but there are still targets that are within our grasp, for example, second place in the Drivers’ championship: Webber is not that far ahead."
