Title: Sete Gibernau vs. Valentino Rossi
Post by: GSXR RACER MIKE on July 27, 2003, 11:04:42 AM
     Way to go Sete! Rossi must have thought he was just going to stalk Sete, pounce the last lap, and win. Looks like Sete was prepared for that!  ;D

My dad and I were talking on the phone about 1/3 of the way into the race about how it gets boring when Rossi runs away.  Next thing you know, I'm out of my seat jumping up and down on the last lap.  I think Rossi is awesome, but every win for Sete is like a tribute to Kato as far as I can tell.  What a great ride by Gibernau!!!  By the way...what a fantastic ride from the back of the field by Nicky Hayden!  I kept watching the standings as he picked the best in the world off one by one.  He and Bayliss were phenominal at a track they had never seen before Thursday.  Great stuff!  I hope the rest of the MotoGP's are that good this year. :D

Awesome race and so close at the end. Did Rossi possibly lose due to his attempted celebration wheelie?  Either way Sete was on point and may give Rossi a run for the championship.

that straightaway is on a hill, and i think that is where the wheelie came from.

ste is the man. let's not forget he beat rossi heads up in lemans also. rossi isn't quite the unbeatable he was last year. mainly cause other people have got those V5's too.

oh, and hayden will be the real deal.
