Anyone witness the last few laps of the moto gp last night? Even if you dont like bikes, its hard not to be impressed with Rossi s talent.

That entire MotorGP race was simply unbelievable. Definitely one of the best I have ever seen. I'd defy anyone watching it to not be on the edge of the seat with the display by Lorenzo and Rossi for the whole race.
I think the Doctor just took desperate late braking to new levels with that last corner lunge on Lorenzo, and it paid off too. I think Rossi really wants to win the title this year.
There seems to be a bit of respect for each other between Rossi and Lorenzo.
Sure leaves the performance of the slot cars of F1 and their robot-like drivers for dead for entertainment value.
