That was simply amazing.

This kind of stuff is the reason I watch MotoGP, and I feel like I haven't seen it in quite a while.

As someone else said, more please.

And hats off to Rossi. Outstanding.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (roger-m @ Jun 14 2009, 02:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>unfucking believable. I think i had 3 heart attacks in the last lap

imo the 3 best races in my memory
05 jerez
08 laguna seca
09 catalyuna

What about Estoril 06? That was easily better than Laguna.

Anyway, that was the best last lap i've ever seen! I've never liked Rossi but that last corner move was probably the best motorcycle pass in the history of the sport, unbelievable!

Vale should have answered: "Bring it on!"

Lorenzo have some more lessons to take from the king. In the interviews on motogp.com Rossi was an artist of PR as always while Lorenzo was somewhat pale and he needs to work on his English.

Well i'm a fan of all things Spanish so I am naturally a fan of Toni, he and Kenny jr took the fight to Rossi in that race and Toni went onto beat him, just.

Also the drama and shock of the Repsol Honda's taking each other out earlier in the race added even more to it as we all knew that Rossi could really capitalize on Hayden dnf'ing.

And its a bit hypocritical to use the rolleyes smiley because I thought Estoril 06 was one of the best races ever when the three races you picked were all won by Rossi, including one in very contreversial fashion (Jerez 05)

Come on. This thread isn't about the greatest 3 races in recent memory. It's about HOW AWESOME Catalunya 09 was. Let's get on with it!
