Catalunya Moto GP
6/15/2009 6:22 AM
Anyone else catch the Moto GP race from Catalunya this Sunday?
Rossi was in top form!
Yeah, for most of the laps the real action was further down the field as riders battled for position, while Lorenzo and Rossi opened a gap on Stoner.
Rossi passed his team mate, Lorenzo on lap three and pressed a bit to open a gap on Stoner, then Lorenzo went past Rossi on lap 12, and Rossi seemed perfectly happy to ride there and settle it late.
Three laps to go Rossi drafts past Lorenzo into turn 1 at about 200mph!
Two laps to go Lorenzo drafts back past Rossi into turn 1.
Last Lap: Rossi couldn't get Lorenzo into turn 1, I thought it was over.
A few corners later and Rossi out brakes Lorenzo for the lead.
Two turns later and it's Lorenzo back in front. Now-it's Really Over!
At least that's what I and apparently Lorenzo thought, because Rossi shot by Lorenzo entering the last turn. No one had passed there in any of the three races! Amazing how the Doctor can find a way past anyone.
Incredible how these little 800's run over 200mph! I can't imagine how fast they'd be running if they still had the 990's from 2006.
