I went and got soaked
Sat down by Craner Curves as close to the track as I could get! Moto GP bikes sounded awesome especially the Hondas and Ducatis! Rossi Yamaha although sounded nice was so much quieter than the others! Saw a few of the 125 guy come of at the Old Harpin and saw a good battle between Stoner, De Puniet and West (I think) in the 250cc race! Moved up to Coppice (in field) for the GP which was a good move! Saw Rossi have a moment coming out of the corner and then saw Biaggi come off which went down well with the thousands of Rossi fans (surprisingly) that were there! I cant post any pics as I forgot my camera but mate took a couple on his phone I think so might see if I can get them off of him!

Its amazing is'nt it? I've followed Rossi since his early 125 days on the Aprilia as my mate had a brand new RS50 Rossi rep, that was nearly 10 years ago!!

Yep I bought my first RS125 when Rossi started out.
I can't believe he stayed on after that highside

I know, he really put the power on in the wet and the bike litterally snaked and threw him in the air but he managed to stay on

Been watchin GP for about 6 years now(not quite as long as Ollies 10) and Rossi just gets better and better! Considering he is on an inferior bike aswell (top speed wise) its just makes what he does all the more impressive!

Loved watching it yesterday in the pub, i'd love to go one time, but glad it wasn't yesterday i bet you were freezing
Its amazing when the riders look like they can't possibly stay on and manage to control it. It was funny when they tried to interview Rossi after and he rushed off after a minute cos he was freezing

Saturday was the better day i felt, bikes were on top form, loved the celebrating bit at the end of the qualifying wheelies and practising their standing starts down dunlop straight! shame about the rain, thought it might make some good racing..
was sat on craner curves rossi's in his own league but thought john hopkins put up a good fight, my repsol boys let me down
the fight for 1st 2nd n 3rd was good in the 250 race as said, but was dissapointed in the bigger bikes, as the commentator said, he may as well got on a scooter and collected a few points!!

I couldnt make the qualifying this year or the past 2 years for that matter so have only went to raceday! watched qualifying in 2002 though!
Twas a shame about shaky aswell! would have been good for him to get a top 10 finish but it just wasn't meant to be.
