Pah, I can do that


Normaly hurts quite a bit though :D

Na, excellent photo and shows just how much hopkins has been muscling that GSVR around to make up for the lack of speed. As I understand it, the suzuki is one of the better handling and easier to ride machines out there on teh MotoGP grid.

You can see why kawasaki want him....bike manufacture that produces banzai bikes, needs a banzai rider..

He'd lost a contact lens there on the previous lap.

I've been leant over further than that and had even closer contact with the ground, though to be fair I was actually falling off the bike at the time.

He is looking for some gloves the same colour as his leathers rather than the ones he is wearing!

That is one of those images which make you just think: "How?".

Look at the front tyre, it is truly incredible that that tiny tiny patch of rubber on the tarmac is enough to keep the bike on line.

Great picture, definitely one of the most spectacular riders in Moto GP, along with Tony Elias for his chimpanzee hanging off, and probably Casey on the basis that he uses way more road than all the others seem to :)

Very impressive and a fantastic photo however a liitle French chap called Jean Philippe Ruggia used to use elbow sliders back in the late 80s in 250GP. Incredible to watch.
