Now that IS proper racing- it was absolutely brilliant. Rossi has to be recognised as one of the best, if not THE best ever now- surely?

Forget F1 (although is nice to see a bit of competition for Schuey in recent couple of months).

Taped it, not seen it yet.

However gunna have to be some race to beat BSB Thruxton, real edge of seat stuff in both races.

So if you've not seen that BSB yet read no further.....





Race 1, My fave Banzi rider may be out for a bit but flipping eck Lavilla his temp replacement didnt take him long to get used to a track he'd never seen before & a new bike did it! (I bet he wouldnt have been as on the pace at somewhere like Cadwell etc, but fast & open Thrux seemed to suit him v well)

Oh and Emmett you absolute clown


Race 2 Aye currumba how close, poor JR tho, hope he heals ok.

The GP's are fantastic and i will say that Rossi is unbelieveable. Must be recognised as one of the best ever racers soon IMO, i thought he would have had his work cut out with Sete this weekend especially after qualifying but to pull of a win like that is great for his confidence (like he's got none!) but more importantly he may have hurt Sete's.

250 GP was a bloody good show too! Real edge of the seat job, i cant help but like Danny Pedrosa. For his first season on the 250's he's class, going to be a very big Star IMO.

Did you see the state of their tyres at the end of the race, not suprising Sete had to back off.

top race indeed. If Rossi's bike get a few more BHP Honda wont get a look in!

That crash did look nasty although he was moving. I hope he was just winded

GP / BSB beats WSB...How boring is that now becoming...! Each manufacturer used to run a works team, now look at it !! Ducati's the only one now...
