After a well-earned two-week break the MotoGP paddock heads back across the Atlantic this week for the second of the two US rounds, The Indianapolis Grand Prix on Sunday 19th August.
The Legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway has traditionally been good to current Championship leader Jorge Lorenzo, his fourth place finish in 2011 being the only year he has not finished on the podium in the premier class.
2009 saw a brilliant race win which few fans will forget due to the special ‰Û÷Captain America‰Ûª helmet he wore for the race.
‰ÛÏI really enjoy riding the Indy track, and have good memories here from my podiums in 2008 and 2010 and my great win in 2009." stated Lorenzo. "Last year I really struggled with grip in the race so I hope we can improve that this year. I‰Ûªve had a nice break but also been training to make sure I‰Ûªm fit for this weekend!‰Û
