That's why there are two different words for "better" and "unforgettable." This race had the potential to be better then it was, even if it wasn't going to be unforgettable.
Didn't cagiva Have grips with lock cinch bolts in motogp back in the day? I can't believe they don't make them for race bikes. Even mountain bikes all have them now.
Can't wait until they all line up 3 feet back and start pushing their bike forward on their toes to get a 'running' start. "But I didn't let out the clutch!!!"
Bump starts, if you weren't on the row in front by the time the flag dropped you were doing it wrong...
I just watched a 20-minute onboard-highlights show on TV. It's even better than these photos. One of his corner worker buddies stood at his left to get in the photo with him. He pushed him out of the way. He didn't want anyone spoiling his moment.
One would think the likelihood of a rider impacting the championship would be greater if they didn’t jump the start. Crazy thought, I know. LOL
