    Yeah I was there last year for that....and it was the best display of high speed sliding that I've ever in my life seen. Gotta have balls like mellons to even think about trying it.

    He may well have balls like melons but I bet his butthole was clamped tighter than the cap on the Deepwater Horizon wellhead when the back wheel started coming around like that Cool vid. What would you have given to have Rossi's birds eye view of the action?

    Nah man...Stoner was doing that lap after lap...and you can see by his body and head position that it wasn't a problem. It wasn't like a slip grip slip etc. He set it up to go sideways well before it broke away.

    Which race were you watching? Randy crashed by himself and landed in the middle of the track. Then Espargaro and Bautista hit randy and his bike both going over handlebars. Not sure which of them ran him over or maybe he broke it when he crashed?

    True that, turn 3 at PI?

    I remember watching that replay over and over on the tele. Twas a thing of beauty...

    I guess it's just because (in relation to other GP riders) he's not only got balls like melons, he has a personality like one too.

    I'm far from perfect (just ask my wife) and I know there's pressure to perform, but there's also relating to your fan base, or potential fan base.

    Mr Stoner may not need lessons in riding, but some public relations tuition would do him some favours IMHO.

    And, anything you can do, I can do better...

    I'd say this is what did it. You can see in the other pics I posted that he actually got air after he'd jumped over his leg!Click image for larger version.

    Yeah turn three. Fast and nasty as all fuck. Noice. I appreciate Stoner pisses people off with his attitude sometimes...but I don't really give a fuck what those guys are like after school. I watch road racing for the sheer skill of the guys. All the other shit is irrelevant to me.

    Difference being...that's a slow turn that Rossi wicks it up out of. Quite different to slinging the thing sideways at 240kph mid corner. And it's also on the old thous which were a whole lot easier to slide with all of the torque they had. A lot of people seem to think that Rossi would kick arse if they banned the electronics. But I reckon Stoner would kick some serious ass. He is after all an ex flat track champion.

    Good point Pete, you do have to give credit where credits due.

    I'm never going to have the honour of saying I passed Rossi on the last corner in the last lap in Germany because he thought I was going to pass him on the second to last corner...even if he was injured.

    Like this...




    Of course, you can get away with this on video games...that's as close as I'm going to get!!!

    It's funny...Rossi comes back from a broken leg and finishes 4th...and he's the man. Stoner misses the same amount of races (or near enough), comes back and wins the next 2 and he's a poof. Go figure. A broken leg for sure hurts...but it is only a straight bone...not like wasting your ankle or shoulder or foot etc...hands too. Put a rod in it and she'll be right. I personally think it's great how he's come back....but I hardly think it's earth shattering and or incredible.

    It'll be interesting to see how long the Frog takes to come back, all though it sounds worse than Rossi's injury.

    I guess too for a lot of people, if you can't physically see an injury, you don't actually have one (mental illness as an example) - doesn't mean to say it's any more or less painful...

    What a track, and what a race. Loved it.

    Man of the match? Hard call but Dani takes it for sticking it to Whore Hay in aggressive fashion.

    THAT is a great clip ! - As the speights man says "makes you realize your place in the cosmos boy"

    I freak if the rear comes round more than a couple of mm

    That was a great battle between Stoner and Rossi though !

    Maybe it should be a rule that if you win 9 world championships you get your leg broken ?

    I spent 1 night in hospital in February and I'm still to scared to approach my usual snails pace - Good job I don't mind coming last !!
