Rossi a little more comfortable

[Paul_E_D]

I'd say he already looks waaay more confident than last year...

Insane

[Paul_E_D]

That picture causes a disconnect in my brain.

[Pigman]

That is just NUTS.........

[scubasteveRR]

That picture causes a disconnect in my brain.

i feel the same way. he's pointing towards the grass. i guess he's going so fast he needs to turn before the turn

[Paul_E_D]

Yeah, and he's turning in with so much speed that the bike is just drifting cause it wants to go straight. I can drift into corners when I'm riding well, but the amount of slip angle here is beyond my comprehension.

[DucDave]

YIKES....I'd love to see the next 8-10 frames....

[scottieducati]

What's perhaps even more encouraging is that the top Ducati on day two was Pramac's Hector Barbera, a fraction ahead of Rossi in sixth. Barbera is believed to have the previous 'Valencia spec' version of the GP12.

I can't remember when anyone but Hayden was anywhere close to Rossi in terms of times.

[OreoGaborio]

OH my GAWD

I just pooped a little

[FireboltEric_MA]

[scottieducati]

I really hope at some point someone is able to b*tch slap Stoner around a bit. I don't really care if it's Rossi or Spies or Lorenzo but man that kid's got quite the ego.

[Paul_E_D]

Ha! His ego is blowin up like the world trade, yo.

[Jason P.]

damn this picture is surfacing everywhere.

i really think its camera angle + him backing it in.

stoner has the same picture in this corner and so did the late Sic. its dope though and its good to hear that he is finally getting comfortable on the bike. cant wait to see how he does in the first race.

[SRTie4k]

I could do that no problem. Except I'd actually end up in the grass.

[Dukaki848]

I love the sound of the desmo. I've watched the video from yesterday about 20 times. I love all the old videos where Hayden would be drifting on one wheel through turns. Smoking the tire through the whole turn simply badass.

[nt650hawk]

I must be dreaming. That can't happen in real life. Can it?

Amazing.

Dumb question:

Are any races ever broadcasted here in the US on TV? I am thinking of getting a TV plan that fits the schedule if they are.

[SRTie4k]

I seem to recall watching MotoGP on SPEED on Sundays.

[PinHead]

Speed has most of the races.
Use this link.

[aldend123]

I used to have FIOS, and therefore, had SPEED. Now that I've moved and I'm stuck with Comcast, those fuckers want me to buy the sports package, which mostly targets MLB, NFL, etc, and just happens to have SPEED. WTF! I don't give two shits about any of those.
