    The best one still has to be Gary McCoy on the Red Bull Yamaha, sliding, spinning it up, and coming out of the corner with the front wheel off the deck. I used to have the still of that as my desktop, but can't find the video (although I did find some cool vids of him sliding).
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    And on a damp track no less...

    I'll be keen to see how he goes when he gets on a more or less competitive bike again next year after a coupla years in the widerness.

    Was interesting that throughout the whole race...his bike actually sounded like he'd turned the TC off...it was the only one not popping and carrying on!

    Sure looked switched off on that last corner last lap! For sure be good to see him back on a comp bike! I'm going back to Phillip Island this year...but I miss the Thous!

    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
