Rossi clinches title, F1 sucks.
great race in Japan, Rossi as usual performs surgery and takes apart Stoner, takes the lead, wins the race and the championship. The man's a genius, rides completely in control. Total hero worship here...and then he's going to race WRC rally cars after the bike season is over, for his vacation!!
But perhaps not the gutsiest; some of the footage from other riders - they were hitting over 290kph on the straights before braking into a 40kph-ish turn, then back up to speed. Rossi never broke 280kph. Stoner would brake so hard that the rear tire would lift about an inch, madness!! Nicky Hayden drifting the rear tire out flat-track style. These guys are total mutants, it's real sport ten times more than F1 or racing around in a cage (literally!!). next season - I'm looking for some serious wild action from Hayden. A Kentucky dirt rider on the untamed and unruly Ducati should make for some awesome racing! Hayden and Rossi went trackside and watched the 125cc race together - even though they had their own big race coming up, they still went out to support the younger riders. Very classy, cool people! The best champions are humble, with lots of character. The kind of guy you'd have a pint with at the pub. watching MotoGP, then looking at the total joke of F1...F1 doesn't even look like a sport anymore. The skill level at MotoGP is far and above. Multiple lines, passing opportunities galore, and at any moment your bike can highside and throw you twenty feet into the air at 200kph. F1 can go to pot for all I care. If I want to watch cars, I've decided to watch NASCAR. Yes, it's just an oval, but there's actual competition and people crash out at 340kph if they make a mistake. That's a real sport, not a sanitized advertising vehicle for Ferrari.

Well Rossi is for sure a very elegant driver.
Good to hear that he will driving for WRC rally cars After failure of his venture into the F1 championship through ferrari i thought he will never sit in a car again...

Which do you reckon is more fun to watch - a race decided by strategy and pit stops, or a race decided by actual racing? You will never get 3 F1 cars fighting for the same bit of tarmac like you do with bike racing I think things would have been a lot closer towards the end of the season had Stoner not been carrying that scaphoid injury btw

As for Rossi, they call him G O A T and he will be for a long while, he's a very special talent, I feel privileged to be able to watch him.

im F1 biased if you will, i like bikes but im bound to end up 6 feet under if i ever get one (not nececarely because of myself, but blind dickheads on the road!). I watched all but one of the motoGP races this year and LOVED it. F1 is ok this season, but doesnt come near motoGP or dare i say GP2!! (sigh...put charlie webster instead of louise goodman PLEASE!! wet dreams galore
)

Rossi realy knows his stuff
But even he started out with kart racing and eventually chose to go on in motorcycles. Imagine what the world would have been missing out on if he had been in the F1 for example Or maybe he would pull one off his hilarious stunts in an F1 race too and turn it into a great sport ![]() I am biased towards the motoGP aswell as the F1 races are as exciting to watch as a pond filed with ducks ![]()

Can't agree with that. It is obvious to even the most blinkered F1 fan that it can't hold a candle to Moto GP at the moment - or for the last 5/6 years as it happens.
