Mugello Comments *SPOILERS*

What can I say...

WOW

That was a fantastic race. Four Italians, top four places. Hard out racing from start to finish.

Rossi's the man, but was good to see Biaggi and Caparossi showing their form of old. Milandri's definitely the top of the youngin's, and a future world champ.

Now that it's over I just want to watch it all over again.

Definitely a race that is going into my top of all time list.

ok those that watched it closely in the head shot from the dash of capirossiś bike what was the tube resting against the screen/blade, had what looked like water in it and was bubbling away in some of the shots

and yes a bloody great race, Max being sneaky when he half opened the door for rossi at one point only to slam it shut on him and force him to sit up and back off, very sneaky

Melandri's Brolly Dolly was better than the racing. I love the Italian grid.

Two seperate races - 1st & 2nd,3rd & 4th ,and they all had a turn at the front.One of the best races I've seen from Max,he was in top form and only used one dirty trick,he must be a changed man.That move from Melandri was over the top! I don't know how he stayed on,and I think the others just let him go thinking he'd never keep it together! I was pretty sure Vale would do it,but the others were so good he had to pull that little bit more out....as usual.

Sete who?????

Gotta agree. The Italian crumpet is still the best in the world. Mmmmm

Anyone stay up for the 250 and 125 races. Brilliant stuff.

*POST CONTAINS SPOILERS CONCERNING MINOR RACES*

The last corner on the 125 race was a shocker. Hope both young guys are ok, certainly looked vicious. Can't remember the last time I saw a rider and bike taking out by another rider flying into them (without a bike). The tumbles looked messy. Add to the guy who also had a nasty tumble in the gravel and it was a busy start to the day for the ambo's.

Anyone*cough*going to*cough*pm me the*cough**cough*you-know-whats.

I watched the 125's live and was quite shocked when they came off at the last corner. The KTM rider actually hit the Honda and he (Honda rider) took quite a tumble. I heard the commentators say during the presentation ceremony that they were both o.k, which was a relief.
I had to go out after that and missed the 250 & GP race, so I hope to catch the replays.

Brilliant race, Rossi always seems to have that little bit extra.I'm sure he just plays with the rest of the field so he doesn't get bored.
Scary crash in the 125's But my daughters happy cos Thomas Luthi had another good finish (the next Valentino she reckons)

**k14** · 6th June 2005, 11:54

Yeah that 125 crash was nasty. Kallio was leading coming into the last corner on the last lap and got highsided and then collected by hector faubel, who then went for a big tumble. Both are gonna be bruised from head to toe and very very sore.

I reckon the 250 race was the best one of the lot, gp was quite good but max was never going to beat rossi.

Normally I'm against Gibernau...think he's an arrogant wanker, forever making excuses for not beeating Val-e...

Gotta give him a bit more respect after reading these comments though...

For once he's not being a total bitch about it, and seems to actually be looking to solve his problems, rather than blame someone else for them.

Still wanna see Rossi win the championship...

I can't wait to see the damn race...link anyone?

**James Deuce** · 6th June 2005, 12:50

It was a joke Toast.
Geez.
Can't say anything anymore.

**XTC** · 6th June 2005, 16:56

Rossi was just playing with the others. As soon as Gibernau was out his lap times dropped and you cpild tell he wasn't really worried about Max.

**Motoracer** · 6th June 2005, 18:09

Racing doesn't get any better than that! Though I am a Rossi fan and I admire him, this time I really wanted to see ol Max win it but oh well, Rossi isn't the best for no reason.

That was probably one of the best races I have ever watched!
