the best was catalunya for a normal fan of the sport..

but, for us i think assen..

it would be catalunya if yamaha had from the start of the season the new engine..

the most special for me though is mugello. i couldn't believe vale could win there with that big straight line, and i was crying all the time especially when he got first and at the podium, seeing him on his knees in front of all his fans..

Assen MotoGP ... It was so exciting, so spectacular !! What a race ... unfortunately, they're not all like this one !

Yeah, I've gotta run with the herd and say Assen. Jerez and Mugello were fabulous, but something about when the Assen win happened... and then how he achieved it... classic Rossi racing, coming from behind, no one allowed to get in his way... we knew at that point what Stoner was about and capable of, and as Rossi hunted him down, it was just horny and spectacular and exciting. Then when he passed him... and of course, no response from KC... all the way to victory...
Alas, it was also the race that gave us hope that things were sorted for the rest of the year...

For me it was Donington. Got to meet Rossi, de Puniet, West, Hopkins, Vermelun, Edwards, Hayden, Checa and Stoner. Got to spend some time talking with Edwards, Hayden and Stoner too, which was awesome

The slippery track made it interesting to watch the chaos of the 125s and demonstrate some amazing skills and planning in the 250s and 800s.

Can't wait for next season as Jerez is on my birthday and so flying out there, then going to Donington as per usual, then I've got an invite with paddock passes for Indianapolis and finally going to see Valencia

It was very good. I have the back of my leathers signed by Stoner, de Puniet, West, Hopkins, Hayden, Edwards and Checa which is quite cool. When I was with Rossi, I didn't have my pen which is pretty much my kinda luck

Well at least you had enough luck to meet him (considering the fact that many of us - read me - haven`t seen him live). However I`m pleased to hear that you have had such a wonderful weekend at Donington

Mugello for sure, he gave his heart to the fans.
And when he got up there on the podium he just fell on his knees like he was saying "I did it, what else do you need to prove i'm the best"
Yamaha should watch that race a couple of times to see what miracle he preformed to be faster then anyone else on that straight.
I think that should be enough for everyone....

Estoril - because even though he was having an absolutely awful second half of the season, it reinstated the fact that he is still the best!
