Pick the Podium: Indycar - Honda Indy Toronto, Toronto, Ontario

[Retroram52]

After the first practice at Honda Indy Toronto at the streets of Toronto, Montoilet takes the top spot followed by Pagenaud and Newgarden. Pagenaud may break through to win a race. Also, Coletti left Texas with an IndyCar suspension. Apparently he can't ween himself away from hitting just about everything that moves. We shall see.

 

[Retroram52]

There is a major bump on this circuit and it disrupts the chassis of most cars. Only Montoilet has been able to figure it out so far or so it seems.

 

[Retroram52]

Pagenaud, Montoilet, Kanaan, and Power lead Practice three. At least it is not raining.

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like Castroneves, Newgarden, and Power take Practice 3 before qualifying.

 

[Retroram52]

Power takes the pole.

 

[IndyAndy]

Power's broken hand/thumb make me leery of picking him.

I'll take:

Montoya
Bourdais
Dixon

 

[Retroram52]

I'll take Montoilet, Dixon, Bourdais

 

[Retroram52]

Paul Tracy with that cue ball look is looking more and more like the Coneheads.

 

[Retroram52]

Its raining in Toronto. They may have start the race with the wet tires.

 

[Retroram52]

The rain has subsided enough that they may get tot start this race at least.

 

[IndyAndy]

Easily the worst rendering of the anthems that I've heard in quite some time.

 

[Retroram52]

Easily. Puke! And they are finally moving.

 

[Retroram52]

The Hondas have done pretty well in the wet this year. We shall see if the trend continues.

 

[Retroram52]

Sato is an accident waiting to happen in the wet.

 

[Retroram52]

Just like in Detroit, let's see who goes to the slicks first.

 

[Retroram52]

Dixon slips past Montoliet and sends him into the side road.

 

[Retroram52]

Looks like Marco is going to be the guy to go to slicks.

 

[Retroram52]

Andretti has to stay ahead of Power and Montoilet is in for slicks.

 

[Retroram52]

A bunch of people in for slicks.

 

[Retroram52]

And Montoliet is on a tear with the slicks.
