Yeah he was great to watch.

The best/ballsiest pass I've ever seen in the time I've been watching was Stoner blasting round the outside over Lorenzo at Laguna over the blind hump/kink on the front straight at 260 odd kph. Balls of fucking steel. But yeah...shove a camera in a young kids face after he's just had an ass whipping will often get the result we did.

There was a lot of hype about that move. I don't know what all the fuss is about. He had it lined up from the exit of the final turn, and was nearly back on his normal line by the crest of the hump.

Odd then that Lorenzo himself nearly shat his pants and thought Stoner was crazy...and even Kevin the Stoner hater raved about it at the time. But having been to Laguna...like anything mate...the TV does that place no justice. The crest is blind, more of a corner than you think...and the bikes get so light over the top of it that they break traction and try to spin up. There's also the small fact of a concrete wall on the outside of you if it all goes pear shaped. Trust me...huge set of nads to do that there. You notice even his own pit crew shaking their heads? THat's not such a good view of it either.

Fair enough. You've been there and I haven't, after all.

And by that I don't mean nah naaa na na naaah. I mean yeah...in person that corner and the corkscrew are well fucking scary!!! As in...no fucking way would I wanna pull out that move even in my keener days.

[badlieutenant]

in keeping with tonight's theme of awesome over takes and racing >>>>>>>>>
I dont know if there was much of a lesson for lorenzo, other than the race isnt over until its over. Good example of (to me at least) how similar in style lorenzo and rossi are (smooth)

oh and not motogp (sadly for slight) but Kocinski and slight

Best vid of it I could find was here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x13..._auto?start=21

Awesome riding.

Yep, that's the one I was talking about. Didn't look like it phased him at all. Mad skills with handling a loose bike.

Nah that's not how the track actually is. The front straight has a rather large hump with a kink in it. Hang on...that's Indy mate not Laguna Seca.
