And Rossi gets T-boned!!!
What a racer the guy is, how many others wouldn’t bother restarting? or if they did, as soon as they realised the bike wasn’t going to be competitive would simply pit the thing?
But no, Rossi spent the afternoon chasing and racing against Alex Hofmann, for last place…

Nobody can hang with Capirossi’s Bridgestone shod Ducati V4 – only Pedrossa was within 10 seconds. Honda didn’t win, but they did dominate: 2-3 (Hayden)-4-5-6-10 plus KR with Honda V5 power 8th. Kawasaki (Nakano) and Suzuki (Hopkins) round out the top ten. Yamaha? Yamaha? Bueller? Bueller? Even discounting the first lap bruhaha, the yellow machines weren’t competitive. On laps 2-27, Rossi and Edwards fell back a second per lap on Capirossi’s winning pace, about 3/4 second/lap to Hayden’s third place Honda – and 1/2 second/lap to Nakano’s Kawasaki. Rossi can hardly claim traffic held him up…

One race does not a season make. This may be just what Rossi needs to keep him motivated. It will certainly make for some great raciing.
