Definitely an awesome race at Mugello. Had it not been for the rain 6 laps from the finish, it would have been a really close call for first podium spot.

Okay, this is a thread that needs constant updating too. But as I said in WRC -thread I haven't been around tv-set for the last races.
i watched "crashes that changed racing" on ch5 last nite and this dude,english and i forgot his name, had a bad crash and done his leg in then raced 6 weeks later and had another crash. he was well determined.that was cool.
btw,the first bad crash im on about was in 1994. does ne1 no hu im on about?!
Sundays Moto GP is stuff of legend. The best ever race I have watched. You have to give it to Vale :king: He is a brilliant rider and masked the Yamaha weaker engine by braking so unbelievably late :thumb: Kudos to Gibernau too, Biaggi should retire & Tamada mixed it in well.
If you did not catch this race make a point of catching the re-run! Awesome, awesome, awesome!
Vale is still the king!, fantastic driving from him yeasterday. And its fun too see how he "lifts" all the Yamaha drivers like Melandri. Yamaha has improved a lot in turning and handling to compensate for the effect loss.
I dont believe that, Ducati is too bad even for Vale. Its sad because Ducati is Ducati, the Ferrari among the motorcycles. Who knows if they dont improve maybe they retire.

I used to watch MotoGP. Vale was my fav, but when the doctor moved to Yamaha, It breaks my heart, I'm Honda Team fan.
I'm a Honda fan myself. But Vale is Vale...you can't deny a true rider when you see one
Yamaha just doesn't have that much horsepower on the straight, as proven a number of times during the race, Vale can be easily overtaken by the Hondas.
