Just been watching some MotoGP 2004

Been watching a lot of races from the 04 season this weekend, god there was some cracking races!

One question I have though, is does anyone know why Repsol Honda chose to sign Biaggi over Gibernau for 2005?

2004 was a stonker, curves favourite recent season IIRC.

IMO gibbernau was not signed because max had the better "pedigree". shows what thats actually worth ...

i think gibernau had a contract with telefonica movistar, so he had to stay with gresini.

Rossi's first year on the Yam and the infamous kiss.

funny you bring this up. I've been watching the 2004 125 season. The racing was insane. STONER,DOVI,SIMONCELLI, BAUTISTA, LORENZO, BARBARA and a few others more. You should it out.
