It will definitely fuel the Toni/Josh bromance going forward though......at least from Toni's perspective.
He may not have had to been ordered, he was being a teammate and a damn good one. Suzuki’s are WAY off pace, going to take a mistake by Beaubier.
Josh earned his team pay today. It at least keeps the game on for another day. And: What happened to the Yosh bikes. It looks like like they got nothing for the Factory Yamahas and that makes for a unexciting race.
It’s been like this since Road America last year. They can’t seem to figure that tire out and get the bike to handle.
The highsides going downhill are the worst. Remided me or Ort's at Laguna. Ground goes further away and the hit is worse. Appears to be ok... hope so.
I usually hate team stuff in any racing, but JD was on a serious charge and Herrin held him off without anything even remotely dirty. He probably could have passed Toni, but that's a heck of a career risk for the bottom step on the podium.
Speak of asphalt. IRL drivers talking about how low grip Laguna Seca is. https://racer.com/2019/09/21/indycar-drivers-hail-laguna-seca-drift/
