Going to have some down time recuperating - so will be watching old races - and with so many to choose from...

So which ones are your favorites - and why.

Mugello 2006 has to be one of the standout ones. Along with Jerez 2005. While also not a battle, I say any PI race from 2007 to 2012, to watch Stoner at his best.
 
PI 2015 was good. It was a fairly usual race, then the last few laps were brilliant. Social media was lit up, claiming how great a race it was for hours. Then it all started.

I think folks forget how good the race was.

It was a brilliant race. My grandma who I definitely wouldn't call a fan was even excited.

Thats the one I was trying to remember. Twas excellent.
 
Valencia 06, Dani Pedrosa v Nicky Hayden
I thought it was billed as Valentino Rossi v Nicky Hayden - oh hang on.

In fairness I think in order to fully contextualise this comment you probably first have to say Estoril 06, Dani Pedrosa v Nicky Hayden.

Kesh - why did you have to make this the Moto GP era?

.... it...I'm disregarding the OP...

1994 - Abe's Suzuka debut. And find the last lap of 1991 come to think of it...Schwantz, Doohan, Rainey and Kocinski.

1991 - Rainey v Schwantz at Hockenheim - in fact Rainey v Schwantz anywhere.

1979 - Sheene v Roberts at Silverstone. Even if it was staged until the penultimate lap...who gives a .....

And in deference to the OP...

2006 Sachsenring Melandri, Rossi, Hayden and Pedrosa

2015 PI - Already mentioned

2007 Catalunya - Rossi v Stoner

Assen 2006 Edwards and Hayden, after Edwards mistake 3 laps from the end and everyone had written him off, amazing retaking the lead but it wasn't to be.
