[tenacious]

Congratulations to MOTO GP's resident wet track specialist Chris Vermeulen for winning the French Moto GP

And it was on a Suzuki no less which makes the win even sweeter

Casey Stoner was third, so it was great day all round for Australia:ausflag:

What a great race

and Suzuki Rules














After a little brake for a few years

Yeah, the under powered suzuki rules in the wet where horsepower cant be used.. haha..

I watched the race, the rain made it interesting, had the field all bunched up for a long time... Rossi did a few odd things.. In the last few races ive watched he has gone majorly wide on a few corners and really screwed things up.. sort of odd where rossi is concerned..

Awesome race. Fantastic result! Aussie 1 and 3 and Casey put it rught up the critics.

All i gotta say is.... How totally brilliant is tyre technology these days. Did you see them chuckin it right in there on a full lean draggin a knee in the wet?!?!?!?! WOW


They got balls, skills, and really good tyres.

I was nervous for them while watching qualifying. Those corners, right over, then quick changes in direction.. That was before the rain.. I road in the rain about 15 minutes ago and i was being so careful. .. lol

would i be considered a freak if i said i actually enjoy riding in the rain?

I am more careful and adjust my riding acording to road conditions but I quite like the challenge of keeping the bike under control in heavy rain.

Nope, not a freak.  I dont mind it either. I live on the main road in the melbourne cbd and was just heading over to Raz's place (about 5kms)..  So my ride starts coming from the 7th level carpark at home, on sealed concrete (slippery when wet).. down the ramps dodging crazy car drivers coming up the other way (ramps only fit one car)... on the way down I have to grab my scan card from my pocket to open the gate, then straight into city peak hour traffic.. across lots of tram tracks on intersections which are excellent fun in the rain...  It keeps you alert.. it just sucks that you dont get the chance to settle in to the ride before you hit the danger zones!

I'd volunteer but they don't let you up on the steps to get the wooden spoon.
