What is it with Stoner and hanging his leg out? We do that on grasstrack to kick back on line but at 120mph it is pointless?

Rossi has stopped doing it, Stoner just looks a spaz

wonder how much extra drag is caused by hanging your leg off though?!

[The Artist]

Stoners chain looks a bit loose.

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

Rossi 3rd?
Shame Spies naffed up.

There is a theory that hanging the inside leg helps put more weight where it's needed. Another is it's a stress meter or a way to take more space into corners.

$250,000 worth of tickets sold due to Rossi turning up.

And how cool is that corkscrew

I hang my left to stop me touching the rear ( British bike) on some courses (Prescott).

Rossi is a legend.

Lorenzo is a bit of a dick though, his celebrations are crap, if you're going to do them then at least do something decent.

The chap planting the flag- was that one of the BCF entries into the Benson Mopedathon?

I didn't see a matching cub 90 dressed up in tin foil, but it could just have been out of shot...

Does anyone else get annoyed listening to those two fu*kwit comentators on the BBC!?

Really, neither of them have a clue what they are talking about, everything that comes out of their mouth's is just complete rubbish or totally wrong!!

The more I had to listen to them, the more I felt myself getting annoyed with them!

QUOTE from idiot commentator No.1 - "... Stoner has just put in a fast lap and is now closing on Lorenzo.... Oh, sorry, no, Lorenzo is actually pulling away from Stoner!"

How the f*ck can you get that the wrong way round!?

I so hope that the BBC lose the rights to show MotoGP and it goes back to Eurosport.

Last nights race had no build up what so ever, VERY POOR commentry and then no post race either.

The BBC are doing nothing to promote motorcycle racing.

Agreed, the F1 gets BBC1, it gets an hour before hand build up, an hour afterwards to discuss the overtake, then another hour on the red button. Started half way through the warm up lap last night. Shocking.

The good thing about it being on the BBC is I can watch it on Freeview.

is it just me, or does the whole leg dangle thing, look very, dirt track style, which a lot of the riders have a back round in.

no doubt rossi started it, but the fact so many do it makes me think it must work to a degree,
the rest of the grid seem to do it more then he does now days

I really thought there was going to be an epic battle between Lorenzo, Stoner and Pedrosa after qualifying as they were all so close. Then Pedrosa fell off, and Stoner made about 3 mistakes, and the race was pretty much over. Its a shame, I remember the awesome Rossi - Stoner battle at Seca a couple of years ago, would have been great if it was like that again!

Also, Troy Bayliss used to do the leg dangle before Rossi ever did it

Not a massively exciting race but it was good viewing at 10 pm on a Sunday night. Not sure it was worth missing the end of Sherlock Holmes, mind. I'm not a big fan of Moto GP but Laguna Seca is one I always watch - two years ago was the first time I watched it, in hospital about two weeks into a two month stretch after coming off. The night shift had just come on and one of the nurses (a bloke) was big into his bikes, so he came and hid in my room and we watched the Stoner-Rossi battle together. Epic viewing, and I now watch it every year.
