WOOOOOW...so the "ooops" moment he experienced with his leg off the Duc was actually him getting sucked off by the wheel of Ben....in retrospect...looking at that shot...he got damn lucky!

Yeah, that was a hell of a save by Vale. I had the race on the dvr and backed it up and watched that little "interface" several times. Every time I saw it I said "holy shit, nice save!" He really doesn't need to fall off again any time soon with that shoulder still on the mend.

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Rossi tried to go around the outside after Ben was through, and lost the front, leading to the foot-off situation.

I've re-watched it a couple of times, I don't think there was any contact.

On the Eurosport coverage a guest in the booth commented that was the only time he saw someone lose the front on a Duc and not go sliding down the road.

From the article.

"Ben came a little bit more to the outside and touched me at full lean angle and I lost my foot. After that I tried to stay with him but no way," said Rossi.

You wouldn't really expect him to slam his team-mate (who just so happens to be the world champ) during his first year on a factory team would you?

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
