Replay. 7/23/2005
I just watched, with my jaw dropped, the replay of the very wet MotoGP race at Donington Park. Where Valentino Rossi just showed the world, again, why he is the best motorcycle racer that has ever lived. Bar none.
The rain was chucking it down. Very typical weather for England. There was standing water on the track. Visibility was very probably measured in meters. And he won, convincingly, pulling away from Barros and Roberts. Pulling away! In the wet! Adding a lap a second, on average. To clock his seventh win at this track.
And why am I so astounded? I’ve done Donington, on a track day. In semi wet conditions. It wasn’t even raining. It certainly wasn’t anywhere near the pace this guys were doing. And I ended up sliding on my arse coming through Goddard’s.
