    He looks like he caught the knee of his leathers on the ground on that corner and scuffed them. He can’t be very good.

    Now we just need some “expert” to come along and tell us that there is no such thing as counter-steering.

    Yeah he’s a bit good that lad, all the whinging and moaning he does all takes a back seat when you see stuff like this.

    Sliding the front on the way in and seemless transition to light up the rear on the way out. Amazing!!!

    Speedy Gino Rea!!!! Destined for big things!!!

    An ‘accident waiting to happen’ rider. Scary and spectacular.

    Never saw Jean Phillipe Ruggia race, but seen that pic a few times. There;s a vid floating about with some american bloke getting his helmet down. I’ll see if I can find it (since my boss is paying me to surf).

    edit: about 1 minute in…

    Schwantz or Roberts used to say: You can make a fast rider stop crashing but you’ll never make a slow rider fast!!!

    Speedy Gino will be in Moto GP’s by 3 years…..you heard it here first!!

    And yeah saw the guy get his head down….pretty impressive and an easy way to scrap a helmet.

    There was an interesting quote from Burgess explaining why Stoner was so fast on the Ducati, unfortunately I can’t find it, but it was along the lines of…

    Stoner would slide the rear through the corner to stop the front washing out. Rossi isn’t prepared to ride like that.

    In Moto 2 maybe, but he’s still way down the list of fastest British riders imo. Happy to proved wrong though.

    Hehehe

    Heard that one sooooo many times being spouted by seasoned riders down the pub etc. Usually guys with big chicken strips on their tyres!

    Yeah he’s a bit good that lad, all the whinging and moaning he does all takes a back seat when you see stuff like this.

    Stoner is a proper talent, just unlike Rossi, when things aren’t going his way he throws his toys out the pram and blames everyone else. Rossi is just a whole lot more considered and philosophical about it all, and just gets on with it, as well as being an incredible talent, hence why he is universally adored.

    Who’s your fastest riders then…currently having same discussion on Twitter so interested in this.

    I’ll give you mine:

    my fastest 5 Brit riders in order: Crutchlow, J.Rea, Smith, G.Rea, S.Lowes

    All things being equal i’d put Rea, Laverty, Crutchlow, Haslam and Smith in order of who’s fastest. Change the order a bit for who’s the best racer (Haslam on top there maybe). I’d still put Davies, Byrne, Toesland, and Hill before Lowes or Gino.

    Both serious men, I have a poster of schwantz exiting a bend sliding the rear and lifting the front… Never froget the british gp 90 or 91 when Schantz took rainey around the outside of melbourne loop hairpin, last lap only one more corner after that, what a win, **** awesome.

    chicken strips

    always called them “pussy marks”..

    You really can’t knock his talent and speed. He may not be every sponsors PR dream but he does the job.

    YAY! I used to have that poster on my bedroom wall! It featured in Bike as a caption competition. The winning entry was something along the lines of
    “Hey fatty, when you’ve finished drying out your underpants, lets get the race going again.”
