rossi testing before comeback

[ShakenNstirred]

rossi has been testing a world superbike today at brno
and has been lapping faster than the wsb riders did yesterday.

rossi`s fastest lap at Brno was 1:59.135 compared to fastest race lap yesterday of 1:59.291 by Crutchlow
just goes to shows how good the guy is

Raced well today, unlucky to not pick up 3rd.

Yep, that was an awesome last few laps, shame he didn't pick up the podium place in his 1st race back, which was a good month early than most predictions!

I was surprised lorenzo didn't win, might have been different for him and rossi if there hadn't been a restart.

Very good race, a few soar riders tonight!

I reckon he would had easily won that race if he was fully fit. I was almost on Pedrosas pace all race long, but suffered from slow starts (which is fair since theres a good chance of getting clipped) and if he knew he could not crash he would had been riding at say 95% just to make sure he didnt go over that limit.

But either way, to come 4th with a leg which was snapped in half only 6 weeks ago was truely amazing. IMO the greatest motorcycle racer to ever live.


Feel sorry for RdP, doing so well and now this

Yeah I don't think he'll make it back in 6 weeks, de Puniet always looks a bit on the edge but it was working for him. MotoGP's going to need some new riders soon, grid looks quite empty.

yes i thought he had stoner till the last corner
but you could see as stoner dived to the inside and was on the brakes very late, Rossi went wide so as not to get knocked off if stoner lost the front end

back to the test on the superbike
he lapped faster than the world superbike riders did the day before, bet that embarrassed them lol
