Even though Rossi keeps winning you can't help but laugh at Sete! I bet he gutted, guy must be on a knife edge!
Will take someone really special to beat that guy.

Looks like Sete ran out of petrol at the end there...
Rossi is unbeatable. You hear the comparisons with F1 and Schumacher, but a MotoGP race with Rossi in it is NEVER going to be boring IMO.
Genius. |

The master has come good yet again 
I've been looking on in amazement at ROSSI's talent for the last 5 years and each time my grin gets wider 
I like the way he lets SETE get past him and then stalks him for a while before rubbing his nose in it and cleaning up.
What a star, what a player, what a tallent. |

Eh?! 
Can you quantify how someone getting on the podium 76 times in 91 races at the top level of bike racing is lucky? That must be the longest and widest lucky streak in history!

I disagree. Would you rather have the F1-style (until this year) of Schumacher fucking off at the first corner and winning every race by 30 seconds? How is that more exciting? I get the feeling that a lot of people who say it's boring don't actually watch the races, just the highlights.
Also, I don't believe it is easy. He might make it look easy, but that's the whole point. That's his talent. If it was easy he wouldn't get any enjoyment from it - he's obviously the type of person who needs a challenge to motivate him. I am a big fan, but I hope he loses some races soon, just to keep him on his toes and keep the motivation there. |

Thankfully, they've finally managed to produce a new track which does promote overtaking and thrilling racing. I can't remember being bored at any point during the Turkish F1 Grand Prix. Bahrain and China on the other hand are dire. 
(I'll get my grammar right eventually, enough edits will do it..  )

Their right rears kept coming off the rim? That was the Turkish, I can't remember any other tyre problems during it though. It was the overtaking which kept me interested mostly, in particular the fact that they had a hairpin after a long straight, which always seems to promote overtaking under braking, which is good.

If you read my post, you would realise that at no point did I suggest that rossi was anything less than the most talented and skilled rider racing in the moto gp. Of course I'm not suggesting he won so many races by luck. All I'm saying is alot of things have gone his way, like sete having problems on the last lap in the last race, or when he's crashed out in the past, or when sete ran wide on the LAST CORNER OF THE RACE a while ago.
I agree, F1 is boring (supposed to be better now but I dont watch). I also think rossi doing the exact same thing every race is getting boring. Just my opinion. If he has the ability to piss off into the distance (which he probably does) then I think yeah, he should go for it. I'd find it more interesting to watch him raging it around the track full pelt, sliding in and out of corners, than sitting behind sete for the whole race. Its that kind of racing strategy/mentality that ruined F1.
And I never said it was easy either

I think ROSSI 'IS' a true hero, he's got carisma, flair, lots of life in him and he's a larger than life chap.
However, i must agree that its very predictable at the moment.
The best ever races i have seen were in 1999 & 2000 when 'Gary McCoy' was a 500cc racer in the GP's........ ......could that man ride a motorcycle.!!!
Sideways in every corner and balls out whatever, just a shame he had a bad off and wasn't fit enough to challenge anymore.
The old RedBull Yam was fantastic to watch, and to think McCoy came into it as a wild card rider |

I think we are really lucky to be around to see Rossi. Incredible people like him don't crop up very often in any sport, whilst they are around we should just be looking on slack-jawed in awe at their amazing talent which we would give anything to possess.
Us mere mortals are not even worthy enough to mop the sweat from the crotch of his leathers.
I fucking love the little bum-faced Italian monkey, he is a biking god!

Rossi certainly is top but i think the year would have been better if Sete hadn't made silly mistakes and had so much bad luck, Sete is as fast as Rossi but Rossi is more consistent, Hopefully Sete doesn't go Ducati as if he can get his head together i'm sure he can give Rossi a real fight next year!
On F1 yes it is poor at the moment due to the bullshit areo-dynamics, you should watch GP2 its like the 125 gp class but with 4 wheels, chaos!  |

The new overbody aerodynamics create too much turbulence behind them and prevent following drivers from getting too close, so there really isn't any overtaking worth speaking about unless there is something like a hairpin to be outbraked on.
