Yamaha - Rossi lesson

Post by Coddy »

Although my next bike looks like being a Ducati, im still a Yamaha gadgie.

Le Mans was a lesson on who is still the man by Rossi, and get in there with the Yamaha 1-2-3.

Excellent race, great to see Rossi back on the top step :biggrin2

Eurosport just cut out as Rossi was away to sit on Lorenzo's knee on the podium too :log

Great race! Somebody recently said they thought Vale had lost his motivation. Don't think so.

A fantastic 2nd for the boy on crutches too. Just a shame about JT.

Casey Stoner's season is crashing to a halt. Now we see him under real pressure, it'll be interesting to see how he handles it.

Was in awe of Lorenzo :worthy two broken ankles and he manages to come right through the pack from a crappy start and take second, that was some going. Bet he's making up for the pain now with a double dose of morphine! heh

Dovisioso did well too. Despite and early collision with Toseland that sent him towards the back of the pack, he picked his way through and finished just behind Vermeulen in 6th. The commentators never seemed to notcie him coming though. I think he may well have had 4th or even a podium.

It's a good tight season, with lots of top riders fighting it out. :2up

My money's on Vale for the title though.

Between Rossi and Lorenzo for the title.
Lorenzo showing real guts to get such good results in the last 2 races, as said above, with broken ankles.

The grumpy Spanish dwarf needs to learn to outbreak people before he can be considered a real challenger. Would get outbraked by a fat bird snapping kit-kats. It can't be because of his size as Loris is demon on the brakes, just dont think he has the upper body strength. He should be the best on the brakes as his bike/rider package is a lot lighter than the rest.

Devisioso will be on the Repsol of Hayden next year. Hayden will be demoted to a satelite Honda or a Kawasaki next year.

Somebody recently said Rossi had lost his motivation???
Which clown said that?!
Rossi has had a lot of bad luck of late, but he is stuff of genius and always stays committed to his racing.
Isnt it funny how all the people who enjoyed ripping him down last year are now singing his praises?!

I was referring to the media and some acquaintances and yes, it's the same people - my memory is good, obviously theirs isn't.
