A..... "cool, where was it"


H..... " up my ass"

Rossi's celebratory gag was pretty cool.

i hate to say it but that motogp race was boring after the first 5 laps.. nothing... at all worth watching except how they showed at times how smooth rossi is when they put the cam on him

that 250 race the crash in the 2nd to last lap that was insane.  but the guy has nobody to blame but himself for that crash luckily he didnt' take out the rider in front of him, ie nicky hadyen/pedrosa move.

Yeah the battle for 6th was badass.  What a hell of a finish in that pack.

 [moto]  Nicky showing improvement and is racing again!  Seems a little gun-shy after all those earlier fun experiences on the "other" bike.

Paraphrasing a jet-lagged Colin Edwards replying to Dave Despain's question, as to why Rossi is so good...."...I don't know, I get behind him and go where he goes, but no matter how fast I am he always pulls away....."

Paraphrasing a MotoGP TV announcer (broadcast on SpeedTV) reflecting after the race on Rossi's 100 wins and the start of Rossi's MotoGP career..."The first races I covered in the 1990s, I wondered who the girl was that all the other reporters were talking to."  laughingdp

Despain softly speculating that Spies will replace Toseland next year to form "Team Texas" in MotoGP...Colin thinks Spies is happy in WSBK and will stay put for the time being, alluding to Spies's awareness of a higher level of competition in MotoGP vs WSBK.

 bacon  Question for the pro riders here: Seems that a lot of bikes were doing baby wheelies through the chicane.  Was that to keep the front tires off the road and reduce wear or just from zealous use of the throttle?

i'm no pro, but... you never want the front off the ground, if you can help it.  certainly not a wear issue.  it just happens.
