The Race, The Rider and The Promoter
Valentino Rossi who was expected to clinch the World Championsip in MOTO GP(500 CC), this week crashed out of the race at Japan due to a collision with Marco Melandri.I was happy to see Rossi escape the crash without any injuries.
Rossi started the race in 11th position and then moved to fourth place by fourth lap. I always like watching these high speed bikes running close to each other and then overtaking each other mutually in a chicane. The synchronous inclination they do to adjust the equillibrium position in the corners and then getting back to the normal position is always a beautiful sight to watch.It also has a risk factor in it when the bikes collide with each other at such speeds.There was a straight sector in the circuit yesterday in which the bikes were reaching almost 290 Km/hr.The speed has to be reduced at the end of the straight say to 90Km/hr to take a corner and these bikes are capable of reaching this speed in third gear.So what is required is a great braking system,good typres and of course uninteruupted concentration from the riders.
Coming back to the race capirossi won it eventually with Max Biaggi finishing second. As per the standings in the race Rossi leads it with around 110 points ahead of Biaggi. I hope rossi lifts the chamipoship in the next race at Malaysia and to acheive this feat what is required from rossi is only a top four finish.
Off the track now,
I was watching this in ESPN/STAR sports and in the race build up our very own JOhn Abraham met with Rossi.Rossi was signing some autograph book or something.
John : Hi Rossi.Im John Abraham an actor from India who is being watched by 1 billion people(come on..enough of your tale..get on with the question). People in India follow Formula1 and then they follow Moto GP too.One person whom they know in Moto GP is Rossi.When are you planning to come to India.
Rossi: Hi,I havent been to India yet and I dont think I will be coming there to India in near future.Hope I will be there for a race.
I dont have complaints with this question except that John's boasting self Intro was at the height of stupidity.Doesn't he know that Rossi is an International star with six championships under his belt.
His second question though i dont remember exactly had something to do with rossi's feeling towards driving the rest of the races this year. Rossi answered it saying that he looks forward to racing in the forth coming tracks. A question like this to a rider who is working towards sealing his 2005 championship is absurd. I didn't have the patience to catch up rest of the interview and changed the channel.
Ps: One of the reasons John was on the circuit and into Yamaha Garage interacting with Rossi is because John is the Promoter of Yamaha Bikes(Not racing bikes of course) in India.One reason I'm jealous of him.

I too hate this vetti paya John Abraham
Chumma udamba valathavan ellam periya aala. venru
Bala,
Guess what was his dress..a sleeveless shirt with sunglasses.He is a celeb, which might demand a good shape of his body but there is no need to show off in a Moto GP race.
Guess rossi has roots in chennai.
He's winning races, more often than he shaves. Wish he wins this season.
Prabhakar,
I think he would be able to win it in the next circuit itself. Its only a mathematical possibility for Biaggi to win not in reality.
