Poor old Casey got a hard time cause of his big ears I suspect.

Did anyone else see some of the slow-mo of Yonny through some of the corners during practice or qualifying? MM was impressive during the race getting things loose, but Yonny had it turned damn near full lock but yet still in control.You could tell he liked his supermoto........

I wonder if Cal is sorta referring to the same thing as rossi but the opposite way round ?

Stoner got a hard time because the haters were unable to gloss through the small stuff to be able to enjoy the big stuff. Their loss.

Best vid of it I could find was here: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x13..._auto?start=21Did anyone else see some of the slow-mo of Yonny through some of the corners during practice or qualifying?

Awesome riding.

This ride seems very typical of Rossi in his later years. If things don't feel right to him he doesn't stick his neck out. But saying that he can quickly pass the almost aliens seemingly with ease when happy?
The future is MM, he's up a level now.(on everyone it seems).
You'd never go hungry with Nigella Gaz.
If it weren't for flashbacks...I'd have no memory at all..

It all seems strange still. Lorenzo, Crutchlow and Rossi all lost grip, the effect was to slow two down and speed one up.
This is all beyond my comprehension. Then again, Rossi says he doesn't understand it either so I won't worry too much.
Unrelated metter. Last night the weather forecast was for a cloudy start to the day then sunshine. It was raining when I went to bed, it was raining when I awoke in the night. It was raining when I woke up this morning and it's pissing down now. Whatever we pay those bastards it's too much.

Wierd huh ? and yet he wasn't willing to slide the Duc ???
The second paragraph I can relate to.I Haven't ridden for over 3 months , too cold for this old fella.
Mind you I'm ready to go, bike on a trickle charge, chain cleaned and sprayed, maybe this weekend ?

Too much grip at the back means they can't slide the rear to steer the thing, worse still is it always feels like the front is being pushed wide so the rider slows down further, entering the corner a lot slower than normally.
Seems strange but you can definitely have too much grip at the back but you can never have too much at the front.

Speaking of sliding (but very much off-topic)...

Very cool!

Sweet. Great to see she's found a way to ride with both feet on the pegs. It usually ends up being faster in other forms of riding.

Totally agree. Watching Casey twitch and slide that ducati behind Rossi at Laguna was amazing. And then the there was the incident :/ If they had left Casey alone so he could cool down about it, he might not have been so heavily publicized as complaining that it was a dangerous maneuver. One Marquez did to Rossi this yearAnd instead the reports might have been about how bloody good the race was and that even tho Casey ran wide he still retained his position. Testament to Casey that he could make the Ducati perform so well (or was it a different bike to the next year ?)

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.
