Some incredible riding here on a wet track, and its on 2 wheels, not an easy 4.

And its always more fun when the commentating is in Italian...

Countless passes (and even in the middle of some curves) in the final 3 laps of this year's Moto GP in Catalunya, Spain.

Simply incredible riding on Rossi's part considering most riders with that many championships would have lost the hunger by now.

Cripes, there were more passes in those 3 laps than there is in a whole season of F1.

Looks like more grip than I have in my car in the rain, last track event in the rain I couldn't drive my car down the straight it was wiggling all over the freakin' place!

Yeah, the tire technology in motorcycling is quite impressive. Even my Metzeler Tourance (street tires) tires stick without slipping when I'm leaned right over in the rain. Did you see the front wheel lift as he was accelerating down the straight?

To have that rider's feel and skill.

That it was. I wish I had SPEED to view these.

It goes to show how it takes far more skill to ride on two wheels than four. I remember Rossi getting within 5 seconds (putting him ahead of the slowest F1 drivers on the grid)of MS, while MS ran more than 20 seconds off Rossi's pace when they switched rides.

5 seconds is an eternity in F1..... I think driver's in F1 are within tenths of each other, it is the cars that are different.
