Er ... that's it.
Was it just me or did Lorenzo try to boot Rossi as he went by? I'm gonna re-watch it now. -- Nige, BMW K1200S Range Rover Vogue Suzuki GSX-R600 Racebike
I was visiting the in- laws (84y and 79y) this weekend so I persuaded them to watch it with me. They were both enthralled. That kind of stuff makes F1 look very tame indeed.
That's the first MotoGP I've managed to watch this season, and an absolute corker. And the 125 debacle even made the late evening BBC News.

Heh. "Mamma mia! Mamma mia! Mamma mia!" I reckon an Italian commentator would make a game of tiddlywinks sound enthralling. No idea. Biazarre, that.
No one knows. The riders themselves haven't been able to explain it either. Rossi started it several years ago, but Stoner does it too (only on one side, tho), and a few other riders, across the classes, have taken it up. Theories abound. The most likely one to me involves using body weight on the iniation of the turn, not unlike what people do with a dirt bike.
Standard practice for some motard riders in hill climbs, but not at those speeds. Looked like the back wheel stepped out a tad to me and he had a 'dab' - but from what you say he and others do it pre-emptively IYSWIM. When one of the NHCA lads went circuit racing a few years ago he got a serious telling off from the stewards for taking the Cadwell club circuit hairpin hill climb style every lap. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest * 2 Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +----------------------------------------------------------------+
