Casey Stoner leads in the first practice session but stated that 70% of the surface should be repaved.

In an quiet garage at the back of the Paddock at the Red Bull Indianapolis MotoGP Casey Stoner talked to a few journalists after his first practice session of the weekend. Admittedly he finished on the top spot with a 1m40.884 on Bridgestone slicks with Jorge Lorenzo behind him on a 1m 41.109, but he was not happy with a few things around the circuit. He also set the fastest lap, he mention how "unhappy" he is with the surface of this historic circuit. He went on to say that over 70% of this circuit should be repaved. His words are directly on the back of a press release from Indianapolis Motor Speedway releasing the news that next year will be the fourth year in a row this race has been held here. August the 26th-28th are the dates for 2011. When asked what Casey thought of that his reply was "they better start working now, 70% of this race circuit needs replacing and you really feel the difference after coming from a new circuit like Silverstone" The Brick Yard has history, over 100 years of history, is it time for a new road surface do you think?
