Sachsenring ****Spoiler****

[sAsLEX]

SO gibby kinda ruined tthe race by opening the door i thought, would of been good to see Rossi have to make his way past, but I suppose the pressure he had ramped up in the last laps on Gibby showed at that corner.



Will have to watch the 250 and 125 when I get home tonight.

[zadok]

True. How about that 'off' in the first few laps before the re-start? The whole bike flipped right around and him flying through the air backwards. Must have been scary for him.

[sAsLEX]

Yeah Hopkins coming in to the switching left to right bit, they kept saying how it was hard on the tires due to that being the only right for ages and cold tires on the right, but it looks as though the back end stepped out while still going left, he sure got high though, looked in the end as though he was only winded and nothing too serious

[White trash]

That fucken Spaniard! Rossi's got him so head fucked, he shouldn't be on a race track, regardless of wether he's second best in the world or not. I couldn't believe that, he had the race won.

Rossi, as usual, performed faultlessly and Nicky Hayden put up a brave fight. I found it also interesting to see Nikano matching the lead group for times most of the race, a brilliant result for the Kawasaki crew.

he put down quite a few laps faster than the front guys to close the gap, bloody good to see another join honda and yamaha...........now all we need is a decent suzuki to not crash and get near the front.....

[Motoracer]

Nicky Hayden all the way!! Yeerr harr!! Bloody good effort from him! :Punk:

I hope hopkins is'nt too badly bashed up... That was one HELL of a high side...

Yeah that'll be on my all time list for, "How the f__k did he get throught that!". Just winded though, but did anyone hear the list of inuries that boy is carrying? Broken ribs, ligament damage to his throttle/brake hand, broken bone in his foot, cartilage damage in one knee! The dude's a superman.

Fantastic race. Couldn't sleep anyway, but what great entertainment. I can't believe Gibbernow has let Rossi do his head in like that.

Biaggi (not so sadly) is f__ked, and so is Bayliss (sadly).

[nicko]

Barros wasn't far back either, none of them could make a big gap, they all qualified so close together.

Sete the poor bugger, probably expecting Rossi to try a late-braking move on him & tried leaving it a bit too late, did well to regain it and keep Hayden back.

[onearmedbandit]

Me and my mate laughed our arses off this morning watching Sete enter that corner on the last lap. Looks like he'll need to book himself into a shrink to get Rossi out of his head. Hopkins crash was super scary, oh yeah.

[k14]

Yeah I knew he would stuff up even if i didn't find out about it while watching the 250 race live at 12:30, grrrr why do the commentators always talk about it. It had a strange order too, 125 then motogp then the 250's. Might go watch the 125's now.

[Lou Girardin]

Rossi had an old Scicilian crone place a curse on Sete. Rossi said at the start of the season that Gibernau wouldn't win another race.
Remember, you heard it here first.

He actually said it at the qatar round last year when gibby's team got rossi in the crap for doing burnouts on the starting grid. I'd say it will hold for as long as rossi is there, maybe if he leaves after next season gibby might be able to win, thats if he hasn't been committed. :rofl:

[pritch]

Just by chance I got to see the Moto GP race last night. Glad I did.
Hayden seems a man on the improve.

Rossi equalled Mike Hailwood's record of the third highest number of GP wins ever.

It occurs to me that this is a bit special as Hailwood would have been racing in two (on rare ocassions three?) races at each meeting. These days the riders just get to do the one.

And Hailwood was one of the greats .

anyone got a link to dl the race? nutted out on the couch before it started.... soft!

You have a point there and in a case I know of one of riders who did that won all three races! and I think it was Hailwood could of been Redman, it was one of the Honda riders anyway. Races were longer back then too over a hour to a hour and half long.

[gav]

Hopkins crashed due to having no feeling in his broken foot with the pain killer jab, just down shifted too many gears and high sided!! Gotta ask why he was racing though.... :no:

Yup, taped it. I'll encode it tonight, should be ready tomorrow morning.

sAsLEX, if you want to get the size down, get VirtualDub and try encoding it with XviD or DivX etc.
