    That little fucker is like watching over the shoulder of somebody playing motogp on an xbox. That race where he started from the back (a penalty for running that other fella off the track wasn't it?), on identical engines, was magic.

    That would be Motegi.

    But more important things: 16th place for 2012 NZ 125cc Grand Prix champion Hafiq Azmi.
    Was up to 14th there for a while.

    Well done!

    That was awesome viewing!

    This may be nit picking on MM, as he clearly possesses superpowers, but was he not careless to start celebrating the win and stand up and let the bike free wheel to the finish line before he had actually crossed it? I replayed it a few times and he sure appears to throttle off and stand up as he exited the bend but at that point he hadn't reached the grid places yet. Rossi may have been 1 or 2 seconds behind but he was sure still charging to the line and closing. Just didn't seem professional but maybe I'm miss reading where the finish line was?

    I thought the same thing, but he did look back and I would therefore assume he calculated it. I was mostly disappointed at the lack of a big wheelie

    He took a long look at where VR was as he went round the last corner,he def was of the throttle, but he judged he had the time for the celebrations

    Yeah I caught that glance behind. But it still looked unprofessional for someone playing at THAT level, to take any sort of risk of throwing away a 1st placing and becoming the laughing stock of world racing, should he miss judge his celebrations. Rossi more than halved the distance between them in the last few seconds.

    You would expect anyone at the top of any form of competitive sport to know that you push hard until the finish line - NO EXCEPTIONS
