Made a video of the Sachsenring race of 2006. This might be a good topic to talk about the golden moments or so? :)

I miss the way the racing went on for most of the race rather than the first few laps
I started a thread last year with, somewhat over the top, title 'Who Killed MotoGP' and it was races like this that I was on about that don't seem to be happening. I love that even on the straight to the flag it is still not decided who will finish where and that for the whole race there were 4 guys that could have won.
We don't even see two horse races like this anymore http://youtube.com/watch?v=oCJkWbwoA2g
I liked this battle too but can't find a decent video of it

Seem to remember thinking that Mugello in o5 and 06 were immense but can't find much more than this
and how about Assen 06.. Aii what a season did we have in 2006... :D
I remember Randy Mamola telling 100 times in 2006; with the 800 the field will even get closer, or 'there'll be even more winners on the 800'
Sure his predictions came out :p
990cc>>>>>800cc
A greater power to grip ratio makes the spectacle better. This applies to most motorsport.
The lap times with the 800s are lower than the 990s, which means theres higher cornering speeds, and hence, less braking into corners and hence less passing. MotoGP shouldn'tve tried to fix what wasnt broken.
Having said that, my favourite motoGP race besides Estoril '06 has been Catalunya '07.
800 cc looks too small for Colin Edwards, he suits more for the 990 cc. :)
Lets go back to 500cc with no rider aids....... then we see who has the balls to match the skill, the ambition to match the ability.....
That's weird, I was thinking that just after the race. Imagine that,.....FANTASTIC!!Quote:

I agree on your traction control part... TC has no place in motorsport!Quote:
