Rossi's best win on the Yamaha so far?
I'll go for Mugello. It's the place I thought was least likely to see Rossi win this year (longest straight in MotoGP I believe), but he did it, and in both parts to boot!

I thought Barcelona was quite good. He really was just toying with Gibernau i thought. Set didnt seem to like it.

Mugello was great. IMO Gibernau is the best wet-weather rider in MotoGP (though Rossi is not bad either) and he was able to beat Sete and all the others.

Assen - the way that he just "shoved it down the inside" on the last lap reminds you of Sheene v. Roberts or something, doesn't it?
(Sept in thoose days bikes were something other than blue.) And Welkom just because he said "Yes, i'm the best try and beat me" Last edited by Hazza; 15 Jul 2004 at 08:35. |

They were all awesome. Welkom, because even he didn't think he could do it (he's said somewhere that's his favourite this season). Mugello, because of the two starts, and the wet and the fact that it's Italy, and Assen, passing Sete on the last half of the last lap. And Catalunya because of the close racing for so many laps.
I vote for Welkom, though, because it was so unexpected. |

My chocie would be Assen. We all under-estimated him pre-season, but no one could've reasonably thought he'd win Assen, especially once the last lap was underway. It defiantely rates as one of the greatest moments in MotoGP so far, and I bet Bazza enjoyed it from wherever he is now.

I'm sure you're thinking of Assen there alesi95. That's the race where he appeared to be playing with Sete until the last lap. |

Some years ago Vale was unexpectedly counter-passed by Biaggi at Assen, and a few minutes later the race was stopped due to rain.
That may have taught Vale a lot, and he somewhat exploit it lately. My vote to that race. |
