Czech MotoGP today - watch it

[FourWheelDrift]

Another great race, don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet and if you haven't or forgot about it, watch it.

The overtaking on lap 17 was brilliant

[killer2005]

Indeed, another excellent race

Did you hear Pedrobot complaining afterwards that people were being "a bit aggressive" in shutting the door ???????

If you cant play with big boys Danny........best run back to Alberto and have a little cry.

Edited to say, best of luck to Capirex and duke, fantastic result for them

Fantastic race as usual. WTF was Capirossi on? Disappeared into the distance like I've never seen in MotoGP before.

Did you see him before the race, he looked happy, content, suntanned, laughing. I guess he was full of confidence, especially after doing a race distance during practice on race tyres and making everyone elses jaws drop to the floor when they saw the times. He knew he would win before he even started. )

Excellent race.

Crap camera work and directing IMHO. Didn't really want to watch Capirex on the last few laps!

The bike is called the Desmosedici SP6 and has a liquid-cooled, 990cc 90 degree V4 four-stroke (with 4 valves per cylinder) and a Desmodromic DOHC timing system.

Desmodromic being the Desmosedici bit, means - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmodro

Desmosedici. 16 (sedici) very clever valves. Definition : http://members.chello.nl/~wgj.jansen/

See also Desmosedici RR, which is a clever Ducati ploy to trick me into spending £38K on a bike. Musst ressisst...
