"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Spain's Dani Pedrosa posted the fastest practice lap Friday at the Indianapolis Grand Prix.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   The 2010 race winner completed the 16-turn, 2.621-mile road course in 1 minute, 39.783 seconds. American Ben Spies, the 2010 pole-winner and race runner-up, was second at 1:40.078. Points leader Jorge Lorenzo was third at 1:40.502, and defending champion Casey Stoner was fifth at 1:40.623.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   Pedrosa also was clocked at 208.6 mph in the speed trap, a new track record.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   Qualifying is scheduled for Saturday. The race will be held Sunday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   The on-track performances have taken a backseat, so far, to the verbal sparring between Stoner, a two-time world champ, and Italy's Valentino Rossi, a seven-time world champ. Rossi's season-long struggles continued Friday, finishing 10th on the speed charts with a time of 1:41.529.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
