Did you all like the MotoGP? best two laps of bike racing ever
Rossi looked a little concerned in park ferme that Gibbers was going to thump him and did you see Gibbers doing the one hand wave as he crossed the line? Soooo funny, but it makes you realise that they are paid to win and nothing else matters.
The race itself was actually a bit boring but I knew Rossi wasnt gonna sit behind him for the whole race. Sssoooo glad I stuck with it till the end.
Did you hear the comentators say that the pace they were running at towards the end would have put them 4th on the grid. The rest of the grid must be wondering how the hell to keep up with them.
Yea what a great finish to the first race,I think Gibenau rode a good race,but it was a certainty that Rossi was going to ping him on the final couple of laps.Was a bit taken aback at first but then thinking about it is a race to the finish and basically I think Rossi was within the bounds of energetic racing.So good on him!
Was nearly rolling around on the floor after they showed the riders going up the stairs to the podium and Gibbers stopped at the top of the stairs to pause awhile to nurse his "hurt" arm.Then Rossi looked down at the camera with that cheeky grin on his face and saying as much" what a wonker"
Cheers stormboy
gibernau left a gap, rossi stuck it in plain an simple, he would have done it himself if the positions had been reversed, that's what racers do, he must have known what was going to happen, if he'd of backed off a tad rossi would have run wide with nothing to bounce off and he could have scooted up the inside of him job done and he knows it, thats why he's not been bleating on about it, roll on next week
Now come on Kaz, you're letting girlie feelings blur your perception of the best racer for generations!
Rossi is the best, no doubt. He knew what he was gonna do from before half distance, and Gibernau must have known it too.
Roll on the rest of the season, and let's hope that the rest of the field can give 'em more of a run.
Gibernau is great, but he can't beat Rossi for the same reason Biaggi can't; he's got the skills but he's just too emotional! He's trying to control it; you could see that in the interview, but Rossi just makes him boil with his coolness.
Then there's our guy Hayden. Podium was his. Do you think he lost concentration because he backed it down, knowing he couldn't catch the leaders? Or did he push it too far in a vain attempt to get to the front? What do YOU think...or do you even care?
It's about the road, not about the chrome.

Nice one Ben
It doesn't look so bad just seeing that bit but I thought the lap before was all the justification needed to make that little bump just a racing incident. They were both really going for it and neither wanted second....Cracking stuff

Anyone tape it cos I missed it, dragged out shopping!!!!
Snigger.....and you've only just got engaged Imagine what it will be like after the wedding
Well if that isn't blatently forcing someone off the track I dunno what is! As soon as Gibbers is on the grass Rossi cranks it over and pisses off up the straight!
I hope Rossi isn't going to adopt a "win at all costs" approach to the season.
