Bourdais has fractured his hip, he's definitely going to be out for the race. Real shame to go from what would have easily been provisional pole to a big injury like that.

Yes, those were two impressive laps. I don't think that at his age he can heal fast enough and or be motivated enough to stay in IndyCar.
He has Le Mans in less than a month too. I think he may not be healthy enough for that either.
It's a spot in the Ganassi Ford GT program, right?
Wouldn't it be cool if it went to jpm?
That was a scary accident. Was a cause determined? I gotta think it was just trimmed too far, hence the speed before the crash.

I hadn't heard anything at all about the Bourdais accident, just saw a youtube suggestion to watch his 'incident.' I laughed and said to myself I hope his balls fell off; really surprised to find out later he broke a hip. Hope he gets better soon.
Justin Wilson freak accident aside it's telling that I can see a screencap of a car split in half and assume the driver got out fine, racing will never be 'safe' but the stuff they've been advancing is working well.
BTW, Alonso had to have an engine change, and I think he's just barely made tech in time. He just can't win with Honda. :o
