  • Two good interviews:

    Rossi: I proved my worth

    This one is quite old but I read just today:

    Gibernau: I owe a lot to Rossi

    I would also like to add that though I admire Lorenzo a lot and he is extremely good but I still feel that he still has to prove a lot before we call him as great as Stoner or Rossi.

    • Did you guys saw the BBC coverage of race?
      Matt Roberts made a very funny comment when Rossi was about to overtake Pedrosa on 1st high speed curve of the track, he said: "Dani Pedrosa got a shock of his life, he saw a Ducati pass him". Quite disrespectul ( in a funny way ) for the Ducati riders.

      • catalunya 2009: I remember, I was at home. yelling out loud when he crossed the finish line. Le mans, I had the same exact feeling, but I was watchin alone, so it would been an embarrassment.

        I just thought a little bit did some research (browsed websites). And I think it would rain at Silverstone. Petrucci would win there for sure.

        Stoner and Lorenzo there is still much time for them to achieve the greatness the other riders have.(not that they wont, but its not now).

        And winning the championship didnt mean that he beat Rossi 'fair and square'
        .Fair and square literally means on equal grounds. According to what I observed, the best I can remember where Rossi and Lorenzo clashed was at Motegi 2010. And they put a hell of fight which Rossi won. And as for the championship is considered Rossi had already lost it when he crashed and missed four races. And I wouldnt call that fair and square.(this doesnt mean that its Lorenzo's mistake that Rossi crashed).

        This is just my opinion and has nothing to do with data and facts.
        And I 'll be Rossi's fan whatever place he finishes.

        Edit:
        Does anyone have any article or links about rossi- doohan or Stoner - Doohan

        Regarding the Private test: They said something about an engine with smoother power Delivery. That would be good for the corner exit right. But the corner entry would still be a problem wouldnt it??( <<<<----- Dont shoot, dont shoootttttt! )

          Exactly same. I just could not control my emotions after catalunya race.
          Same thing happened on sunday. I called up my friend when last 3 laps were remaining and once Rossi crossed the finish line I was jumping, shouting, laughing, all the emotions were bursting out.

                    • German gp.....hmm
                      Gotta watch that now

                      Laguna seca 08 is also good.
                      Right from lap one, rather Lap 2. it was like last lap.
                      Stoner setting fastest lap so many times, but still not able to overtake Rossi.

                      I have a copy which was broadcasted on Eurosports.(the only time I like the Brit commentators).

                            • I was away from xBhp, but, not from MotoGP!

                              French GP was all for one man - VA-LE! It was absolutely fantastic! I was jumping like a kid! lol! Well, can we have some cloud-seeding at every track?

                              Wondered why Rossi let go of Stoner initially?!
                              Possibilities:
                              He takes his time to set-in. and saves his best for the last laps.
                              He didn't want to push too hard and go in the drain. Stoner, when stimulated can be very aggressive!
                              Monster dogs - Cal and Dovi were all over his arse. He had cool it off by holding them up.

                              BTW, loved it when Dovi and Stoner gave it up when Rossi overtook them.


                              Felt bad for JLo as he was trying very hard to put on a show in front of the media and the spectators after winning the race.
                              Nevertheless, I admire his racing/riding abilities. Another 5 laps, 46 'd have beaten 99 too!

                              Yes, Moto2 was great. Luthi was master-class. Zarco was on steroids; but, poor kid didn't make it. Scott Redding was hopelessly cautious. Hard luck for #49 after leading the race. Someone pushed the bike to finish line! Gritty, I must say!

                              Oh, long post!

                              • Rossi went slower mid race, because his Visor fogged up, so he lost stoner and cal and dovi passed him.

                                And seriously why do you have to call Lorenzo Whore gay? Is it really necessary?
