I just purchased the MotoGP videopass, so I have access to every race from 92 on now. What are some of the best races from that year on to watch? I didn't start watching regularly until the mid 2000's.
Don't know that it was that great of a race, but Phillip Island 2003 (or 2004? Nicky's first year in GP, I think.) was a pretty mind-blowing performance by Rossi. Laguna 2006 was Rossi vs Stoner at the Corkscrew, I believe. There was a pretty great battle at Assen one of the last years that Edwards rode for Camel Yamaha, can't remember the year though.
My favorite race is the next one Actually many of the recent moto3 races are better than MotoGP races. Future stars
No, 2008. In 2006 Stoner was on a satellite Honda. Hayden won the race that year. 2006, battle with Hayden. The only non-Laguna race that Hayden won. Another great race - Suzuka 2001. 500cc, Biaggi runs Rossi off track, Rossi gives finger and....
That's the first race I watched when I got it. I was actually at that race. Nicky's championship year. The Rossi/Stoner Corkscrew battle was 07 I believe...
Catalunya 2009. Was fortunate enough to have been there, the tension built all the way until that last corner...madness ensued
Gifted.....he was gifted that one (both the race win and the MotoGP title in that one corner). That should have been CEII first (and only) MotoGP win. He was still in the lead here with like 1/2 a corner left FFS!!!! Also, I'm pretty sure if Colin didn't fall off here and actually crossed the finish line first, Hayden would have also lost the title to Rossi since they would have been tied for points and Rossi had more wins that year.
Hayden went into race management mode for the last race of 2006... He could have pushed for 2nd or 1st if he needed it. Just sayin...
He certainly could have tried, whether or not he could have succeeded is an entirely other story Suzuka 2001 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQECs2qWwQ8
