MotoGP 2006 top 5.......
Discussion
4.5 hour programme on Eurosport last night...Fantastic. They showed the top 5 races of the year.
Number 3 (I think) was Murgello. After the race the guys found out why Sete had suddenly come right off the pace. Turns out he lost a toe slider and eventually wore through hi boots, and was dragging his toes on the tarmac!!
Number 2 (I think again) was Valencia. Is that where Haydon won the title? Anyway, we all know what happened there, and we don't wanna talk about it too much.
But Number 1.....T'was Estoril. What a race. How many have forgotten what happened? Jesus, that was an unbelievable race. What the hell was Elias on??!!
Comments from the commentators...
"Are you allowed to throw a bike at someone"? Talking about Elias going past Rossi at the end of the straight....he came from about 15 yards behind, and "crabbed" in into the corner!
"If you lined the (forgot the name...the things that look like the apex, but on the other side of the track, on the exit!!!!) with puppies, Elias would run 'em all down"!!
"I bet Edwards is laughing under his helmet", as he watches Elias fly past him at "Elias" corner apparently completely out of control.
FRiding like the devil indeed.....I forget a few others, but it made my night!
4.5 hours of MotoGP bliss.....The mrs went to bed at 19:30!!!
ps - Parts of this post maybe factually incorrect....but you get the drift.

Not that long to wait for some racing to watch
WSB season opener, at Losail (Qatar) 24th Feb
Bring it on
Who's going to do what????
Well I recon Toseland could be Champ in 2007, but he's still got to fight it out with Haga, Bayliss, Biaggi
the list goes on.
The racings so good I don't care who wins, but it is nice to see a brit at the top of the podium

Yep, watched the highlights of the WSB the other night as well. Would love to see Toseland win again, but can't see anyone getting the bettor of Bayliss.
