        Also... try n download the '03 Philip Island Oz GP race (Rossi's best race EVER)

        the '06 GP at Estoril is a fun watch too... with a exhilarating ending.

        and... try n skip watching YouTube vids unless u've already seen the race...
        it kinda doesn't pain the whole picture.
        Yes,the '03 Philip Island..Rossi was a given a ride-through in that,right? And he still managed to top the race..The first races to download will definitely be these two.

        Okay,an idea what the maximum lean angle achieved in Motogp? I read it was 71 degrees by Colin Edwards Sounds unbelievable and intriguing as well!!
        If you ride like there's no tomorrow...worry not there won't be!

          • I hate to call this one as one of my favorite(Rossi came 2nd) but it is. It was the first race that I had seen and I became a fan of Rossi. This was a gr8 race and I wished Rossi had won it, nevertheless gr8 racing, In this race Rossi passed Stoner on the last corner at the end of lap 6, same what he did to Lorenzo in 2009, but this one was not captured on the camera.

                Brilliant stuff dude..Just brilliant! Loved the the race throughout.I was thinking to fast forward it to the last 8 laps but was so much glued to the race that I just couldn't! Also,Pedrosa has earned more respect now.I believe,it wasn't just between Stoner and Rossi,Pedrosa held at the back well too..

                  he wasn't given a ride through..once he actually overtook under yello flag..it was declared several laps later that he was given a 10 sec penalty..he was given the same information by his pit crew that he had to beat 2nd position (capirossi) by more than 10 sec and thats when he started pulling away with a series of killer laps..finally crossing the finish line 15.2sec from 2nd.

                  So no ride-through in that case
                  Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                    So,the 15 sec gap was done on-purpose..Nice.

                        Looking back at the last two pages feels super cool. So many videos information shared. Keep it up guys. Thanks

                        Going slightly off-topic it was really funny seeing Rossi's reaction to what stoner was saying regarding Race Direction fining him for his actions (around at 10:30 minutes in the after the flag youtube video)

                        Am I guilty of playing the role of a fire igniter here

                          • One of the Best Races was at germany, Rossi's coming back after missing four races due to accident and taking fourth place. that was Ultimate.


                            (crashy stoner had probs with that too, he didnt even appreciated Rossi for his comeback,bloody attention seeker)

                            Just thinking...... Pedrosa,Lorenzo, Stoner ,Dovi ,all these kiddos came too early to Motogp. I rather see Hopkins, Anthony West,Gabor talmacsi, Melandri,Vermeulen,Alex Debon Sete and Max(Dunno why ) on motogp bikes.....
                            Again.. Just ,my point of view,Plz no career consulting

                              • Don't you feel pity for Rossi . He would have work his a$$ off in the corners to build some gap only to be eaten over by the Ducati in straights. It's like rabbit is running as fast as it could in the corners so that in straights the tiger doesn't cover up and eat it

                                Catalunya it is, the next GP.

                                Not sure if this has been posted already:
