    Moto GP 2013 Indianapolis: Marc Marquez also leads warm-up practice


    Marc Marquez has made a clean sweep at Indianapolis so far, topping the charts in all the practice sessions and in qualifying. The Repsol Honda rookie during this morning’s warm-up practice stopped the clock in 1:38.776, and was the only rider to break into the 1.38s.
    Second fastest was Cal Crutchlow who was a little more than three tenths adrift, giving Hiroshi Aoyama hell for being in his way and then heading up the banking to try to avoid any anything dripping from Blake Young’s smoking APR. Dani Pedrosa dropped into third with his last flying lap after lingering down in 7th and 8th, while Jorge Lorenzo was fourth.
    As soon as the Yamaha factory rider returned to the pit after the 20 minute session and doing a long run, a Bridgestone tire tech was called in to look at the left side of his rear tire that was severely worn, but it isn’t known just how many laps that particular tire had already been through
    Stefan Bradl kept his cool this morning - trying to avoid another crash - as he finished fifth. Valentino Rossi seems to have partially solved his issues as he was sixth, but he was still almost one second adrift from Marquez. Alvaro Bautista concluded in seventh ahead of an excellent Bradley Smith and the Ducati duo, Nicky Hayden and Andrea Dovizio who seemed to be forever linked together.
    Bad luck hit wildcard rider Blake Young again during the warm-up session. While at Laguna Seca he crashed out in session, here at Indianapolis his Attack Performance CRT machine began sending out smoke signals, which forced him to pull over and walk back to his garage.
