Casey Stoner was dominant in the MotoGP qualifying session at Indianapolis to take pole position for tomorrow’s GP. Stoner found his form early and was mostly untouchable at the top.

Last year’s pole sitter, Ben Spies, was also consistently quick and took second place ahead of his team-mate Jorge Lorenzo.

Lorenzo struggled with feeling throughout the session and needed to push his Yamaha to the limit to claim 3rd place.

Valentino Rossi had another forgettable outing on the Ducati – he crashed at the start of the session and was forced to return to the pits and use his second bike for the remainder of the session. Rossi eventually qualified in 14th position, with Nicky Hayden finishing as the fastest Ducati in 9th place.
