2013 Indianpolis MotoGP FP2 Result: Is Marquez The New Captain America?

Early on in FP2, it seemed as if former Indy race winners Jorge Lorenzo (2010) and Dani Pedrosa (2009, 2012) would establish their spots at the top of the order. After all, the long break gave the veteran riders time to heal from injuries and reclaim lost speed.  And both looked fast early in FP2.

Someone again forgot to inform Marc Marquez about the natural order of things. Marquez, already a winner at the prior two American races in 2013 (Austin and Laguna Seca), announced his similar intention at Indianapolis Motor Speedway with a top time of 1’39.502, eight-hundredths faster than teammate Dani Pedrosa. And Marquez, too, is a prior winner here, just not in the top class.

Stefan Bradl grabbed third to give Honda a clean sweep of the top-three slots. Jorge Lorenzo managed fourth, the best of a cluster of three Yamahas. He was followed by Cal Crutchlow and Valentino Rossi who ended up slightly more than half-a-second slower than rookie Marquez.
