Valentino Rossi

Anyone see the MotoGP yesterday?

What an amazing race! About half the riders fell off, apparently, then Rossi passed Barros with about 5 laps to go and pulls out about 2 seconds per lap.

I was there last year, but I am glad I was at home to see it, otherwise I would have missed most of the action, including Rossi's 'moments'. How he held on to that I will never know, but I bet Gibernau wishes he knew his secret!

Re: Valentino Rossi

Exactly, they go out when the conditions are terrible and still give a spectacle worth watching. They fall off and get back on. They ride with broken bones etc without so much as a winge. F1 have 'the wrong tyres' and thats it, game over, god knows how many people paid good money to watch 6 cars driving round a track!

Re: Valentino Rossi

Have you seen on teletext that Alex Barros (3rd at Donnington) has just been fined nearly £2m for breach of contract. He left yamaha to go to repsol hoda with 12mnths still to go and that is what it costs !!!!! :eek:

If you're paying, definitely!

If you're not paying, then probably not ;)
