Indianapolis, USA - It takes more than a win to put a smile on Casey Stoner's face as he continued his Brickyard bashing despite a dominating victory at the Indianapolis MotoGP.
Stoner refused to back down on his criticism of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) layout, labelling the track as one of the worst on the MotoGP circuit.
After demolishing the track record during qualifying and romping to a nearly five-second win over Honda team mate Dani Pedrosa, Stoner offered few compliments of Indianapolis circuit.
INDIANAPOLIS DROPPED?
Stoner said, "I'm not like some other riders who just enjoy tracks because they win there. I've won on most of the circuits we have on the calendar and I can't honestly say this is better than most of them."
"We drive on some fantastic circuits; I don't get a kick out of it just because I win. I look at what quality the circuit has rather than just the result."
Stoner was not the only rider to complain about the lack of grip on the resurfaced track but he was the most vocal, adding that the 4.22km layout, which uses part of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's oval, was too tight and twisty.
Stoner may never have to be concerned about racing at the Brickyard again.
With no deal in place for the 2012 season, MotoGP may leave the Brickyard.
