              It's on Youtube I saw it, Biaggi elbowed Rossi just when the lot was comin out of the left-hander to the ending line. Rossi somehow controlled it and over took him soon enough. < crybaby >BIAGGI < / crybaby >

                  • @Anthony, Saif: Go to Youtube.com guys.. am in office so can't get u the link. search for Rossi - Biaggi or MotoGP Valentino Rossi or anything related to Rossi, it's just a small clip few seconds where Rossi is being elbowed by Biaggi.

                      I think Biaggi came to Honda right when Rossi left it for Yamaha. Honda wanted to field a whole armada of riders to defeat Rossi. If only they knew !!

                      There is no recorded clip of them fighting. They were going on the stairs to interview area and suddenly the reporters started shouting, "they are punching themselves !!", then all the cameras were shoved aside and they closed the door !!

                      Japanese Grand Prix 2001, not sure if it was in Motegi then or Suzuka !!

                      Another reason of watching FASTER !! They have explained the whole incident in details there, with comments from Julian Ryder (one of the most respected MotoGP reporters) and Mik Doohan (u kno who !! ) !!

                        That means 250s & 600s will run along side? Isnt that strange?

                        • Yes. It is strange.

                          Its part of a plan to eliminate the 250 cc two strokes and replace them with the 600cc four strokes. Such a thing has happened before in 2002 when the aim was to replace the 500 cc two strokes with 990 cc four strokes. In 2002, these two machines raced together. It is commonly believed that the power produced by the two is equal, whereas actually the larger capacity four strokes are more powerful. The comparison between the 250s and the 600s is similar.

                              2 strokes produce arnd 100bhp (estimated by the experts of course, as these figures are never revealed !) and Honda has officially stated that the 600s will have close to 150 bhp. Its the power to weight ratio where the 2 strokes might still be able to comete with the 600s, but ya, it'd almost be as if there are 2 separate c'ships going on within the same race.

                              And IIRC, the 990 4-strokes had roughly the same power as the 500 2s, but its the higher torque figures owing to bigger cylinder dimensions that gave them an edge !! Especially in the drive out of corners !!

                                I think you mean 140+
                                Even the street legal supersports produce 120 odd at the crank.
