MotoGP Review: The haves and the not-winning
The mounting pressure on the diminutive shoulders of Dani Pedrosa. Valentino Rossi, the best ever? And the dreaded single tyre move. Toby Moody muses over them all after an eventful Japanese Grand Prix weekend
Time to deliver
Valentino Rossi won again at the weekend, victory number 96 in grand prix racing, title number six in MotoGP and eight overall. He is just incredible, as once more he leaves us all aghast as to his abilities, some 11 years after winning his first title at Brno in August 1997.
This weekend at Phillip Island in Australia, Rossi should be well and truly unleashed as he's got nothing to lose. Hell, if we were in the old days he wouldn't turn up to these remaining races if he wasn't paid enough start money!
