Not quite as striking as that Yanagawa shot, but you gotta like the sparks!

I almost hesitate to post another one of Stoner, but I do feel this one meets Rats's ideal of focussed on the job etc. (and also because it shows he wasn't dozing off from boredom at P.I this year..)

I could have put this one in the other thread on backing it in, but I thought I'd put it here instead. It's a shame that Melandri has gone.

,,One for the cover,,

Solo,, Soulful?,, never applied to a 13 years old, however, few people had more..

The gifted Peter Lenz,, That's the form of a seasoned 25 year old. One can only imagine what might have been..

That clip is something that should be shown to any person even vaguely interestied in racing - of any sort. Seriously, that clip is the evidence of the fact that Dorna just don't get it. If you could consistently find that on YouTube, it would be everywhere and people who had never heard of MotoGP would be exposed to a what makes the sport compelling.

WHERE IN THE NAME OF GOD ARE YOU GETTING THESE PICS?!



Despite the topics, I am not actually a picture guy, I prefer the sound and smell but a few photos have really struck me and those drive me to find more (thus the topics). WayneG, your pics are killing me. They are simply fantastic.

I'm glad you are enjoying them. :D

Google Images is your friend along with some obscure search strings.
Maybe Round 4 in this series should be for Oh Shit!!! photos. I'm not into glorifying crashes but there are some spectacular shots around of disasterous moments frozen in time. Let me know if you want me to post a few of the better ones.
