It was an intense race. It was a spectactular pass.

About Rossi, I mean the guy was dominant from '02-'10 in MotoGP. He won back-to-back in '02 and '03 with Repsol Honda, then went back-to-back again '04-'05 with Gauloises Yamaha(4 years consecutive '02-'05 at the top of MotoGP). Then from '05-'10 he had 3 Championships, a 2nd, and 2 3rd's(all with Fiat Yamaha).

I am a fan of Rossi, his demeanor and all. I enjoy watching him race, but since he had moved to Ducati........ not so much.. only 1 podium last year, and in '02 he had 15 podiums (11-1st and 4-2nds) and only 1 non-podium(ret).

I don't watch MotoGP, not familiar with the back-story or anything, but I still find that absolutely incredible. That is what racing is all about.

That's unfortunate. It comes on almost every Sunday on Speed Channel. It is fun to record and watch. What else is there to do on Sunday(racing wise) besides NASCAR and MotoGP?? NOTHING!
