ZOMG

Had to post after a race like that.

I swear my heat rate must be have been like 160+bps throughout the whole race.

Anyone who doubts Rossi is truely something special just has to watch that race to see how wrong they are.

Shame for Tamada, he seemed to be showing the form of Temada circa 2004. Good to see Roberts running to comfort him. True sportsmanship, and reminds me of when Rossi took Melandri out.

How the hell am I supposed to go to sleep now??? Screw it. Think I stay up and watch it on prime too.

Only thing that could be this race would be Rossi kicking arse at Laguna Seca.

Looking forward to getting the torrent, hint hint Eric.

**Lou Girardin** · 17th July 2006, 15:20

Nope.

Fully paid up motoGP.com member. So I watch full practices/qualifying, and full races with the filler in between them that we don't see on TV (ie rider interviews - fav tracks, superstitions, etc, etc).

*hugs his cable connection*

Hanging out for a torrent (hint hint erik

) so I can watch it again without killing more of my bitcap.

Loved the 125 race. Seeing Pasini and Bautista elbowing each other to the finish line (not to mention the previous lap) was superb. They say it was 0.001 between them. Now that's close racing.

The race was very exciting with an awesome german crowd to top it off.First off seeing Kenny Roberts Juniour crashing out and taking Tamada with him.Sad for Tamada since he was riding so well and also for Roberts after his excellent preformance practice and QP landing him self 2nd on the grid.
Also Stoner not racing due to his crash in the warm up resulting in a slight concussion.

The front group of five had an awesome battle sadly Loris Capirossi on the roaring Ducati dropped back after challenging Nicky hayden to about +1.5.Pedrosa the favorite to win seemed to be looking great! at the start until Marco(still injured) went past like a kamikaze missle followed by Rossi who started in 11th until his awesome start up to 6th then we could just sit back and watch the magic of the Doctor.The two Repsol Riders found themself in 3rd and 4th position.For a while they changed about a bit but Marco and Rossi got into rythem and were clearly gonna be 1 and 2 in what order...no body could tell.Hayden found himself passing his team mate Dani Pedrosa then hoping to pass Marco down bottom but Marco shut him out.All Marco could do was try take Rossi out wide on the last courner as Rossi had a very secure line.Melandri couldnt do it but bloody sterlin effort,extremely close!

BRING ON Laguna! wish Hopkins and Edwards luck

And in the 250s good job Takahashi who fended off the lollie pop kids Jorge Lorenze and the man flying aty the front who we all thought was gonna run away with the win Alex Deangelis.Lorenzo now on top of the 250 championship

125s saw Pasini take the win over his team mate Bautista...very very close 0.010.

Sorry if it makes no sense i just splurged out.

CAN ANY ONE SEND ME THE DVD ??

please. Im desperate

**Racey Rider** · 17th July 2006, 21:12

I could do you a DVD copy if you need it.

How does Kenny Roberts Junior now put that incident out of his mind.
How do you now try that inside pass again when it's next needed, knowing you stuffed somebody else up last time you tried it?

I missed what Rossi's t-shirt was all about. Anyone know?

RG - I've got the lot on tape if you like. You in town at all?

It was celebrating Italy's win in the world cup. But Rossi being Rossi, he took it a step further and wore Marco Materazzi's jersey (or more likely a replica thereof).

I thought it was funny they made him take it off to walk out onto the podium but were silly enough to let him carry it. Who'd a thought he'd put it back on... hehehe

**UrbanMyth** · 17th July 2006, 23:00

hahaha that was awesome i had a little chuckle when i saw him put it back on.

**sAsLEX** · 17th July 2006, 23:12

yes what a race cant wait to see Laguna next weekend, rossi has some thing to show by beating Hayden on his turf!

Hayden ended up with black marks on his leathers from when he closed the door on pedrosa!

Great race!

Yep, you're right GL, it was Materazzi's shirt.
Vale & Materazzi are good mates; he was originally gonna wear Materazzi's shirt,but then felt too stink so he asked him for a replica..
He said it was to honour the World Cup winning team as well as prolong the festivities...

Can someone please tell me what "spoilers" and "torrents" are ? I have seen these popping up on here for the last couple of weeks. Gaz.
