QuoteCapirossi - now that was a pleasant surprise

He totally drafted Rossi for that time.

Melandri occupying his usual position

rossi's helmet is toooo funny 

QuoteRossi, who noticed Capirossi's move, sat up after his lap and jokingly made a sign with his fingers to his countryman asking for money.

esp when he's tucked    

I was NOT expecting that- awesome!

This is why Rossi's the darling of moto racing.  It will be sad when his talent and his show retires.  Hopefully Lorenzo can keep us entertained with his own antics and talent after the doctor moves on in a few years.

and now someone needs to go back and time it: who got more screen time on the motogp.com feed, rossi or brad pitt? 

I missed the race since I had to go to a Bday party but I caught the highlights on Youtube.

It looked like I missed a good one

same with last year.  so far 1 guy can ride that bike.

Awesome best race of the year IMO, narrow track, close pack and insanely fast straight.

Major props to Vale and Alex de Angelis, he rode the crap out of that machine it was 15 laps of me waiting for a huge lowside from the guy.
