Stewal Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Rossi really is just MAGIC!! Now if Ducati would open their ears and do whatever Rossi says to develop this years bike we may see a little of that next year. Although it may still be for 3rd or forth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khp Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Epic, just like the Rossi/Stoner battle of Laguna Seca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugget Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I remember that one, awesome race, and those last laps...! Definitely worth watching again. A great moment when the crew start jumping around and waving their arms everywhere. I think there are definitely things to be learnt there. When I was actually watching the race I just couldn't believe how a pass there was possible, especially listening to the commentators saying that Lorenzo had it, and as the other racers in the interview there say, "it's not a passing place". Well obviously, it did turn out to be a passing place. It just goes to show that you can't watch other peoples lines, there's not really any point in trying to watch others and look for the "passing places". Much better to improve your own understanding of the track and be willing to try different things and push yourself! If someone tells me that a certain line or something is not possible, I won't listen to them. I will go and keep trying it for myself until I run out of different ways to try it. They may have been correct that it's not possible, but finding that out for yourself is worth much more I think. Also there is always the chance that they're wrong and you'll discover something new! At least that's the lesson I took from it. And it sure seems like that is the way Rossi approached it, he didn't listen to anyone who was saying that's not a passing place.

faffi Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 There have been other battles. And "impossible" passes. Look at the one around the 3:15 mark particularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
