"We'll start out on Friday with the new front fork because our first impressions of it were good although we still have to decide whether we'll use it for the race," said Stoner. "We'll also try some settings on the rear that we managed to get a few laps on at Brno but that also need checking out."
“We go to Indy with some things to try that we hope can give Casey those two tenths he's missing," confirmed team manager Vittoriano Guareschi. "Over the past few months he's been happy with the engine and the handling of the GP10 but never really able to get a good feeling for the front.
"The new fork we tried in the Czech Republic seems to have given him a little confidence so we'll fit it to one of his two bikes on Friday afternoon. If his feeling is as good as it was at Brno we'll use it in the race. Also Nicky [Hayden], of course, can use it if he wants to."
