THE REPSOL HONDA TEAM IS GETTING READY FOR INDY

The Repsol Honda Team is ready to head to the United States for the second time of the season, as the eleventh appointment of the year, the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix is going to get underway. The two team mates Dani Pedrosa and Andrea Dovizioso will aim high also at this challenge and will get to the track seeking the podium.

Considering the good performance that Repsol Honda Spaniard registered at Indy last year, Dani is sure he could find again the good rhythm that allowed him to race with a full second of advantage over rivals. Pedrosa is tightly detaining the control of the second position in the Championship standings and, on Sunday, he will do his best to increase the points which divide him from Casey Stoner, third classified.

The Gas testimonial Andrea Dovizioso is looking forward reaching one of the first three positions of the American podium in order to reinvigorate a demanding season, during which he grasped satisfying results however. The Repsol Honda Italian is in fourth in the Championship and at Indy he will seek a happier result compared to the one grasped at the last GP, where he did not classify due to an unlucky crash.

Everything is ready in the immense Californian circuit of Indianapolis, which will host the eleventh round of the 2010 MotoGP season for the third consecutive year. The circuit, an oval long 4,216 meters with six right corners and ten left corners, puts to hard test the riders who go along it due to the surface and levels of grip changes which feature it.

The Brno race winner, Toni Elias, will seek the fifth consecutive victory of 2010, a season which is bringing great results to the promising Spanish rider. Anyway Andrea Iannone and Thomas Luthi, second and third in the point standings, will think about causing him troubles, but Julian Simon and Shoya Tomizawa must not be underestimated.
