MotoGP: Valentino Rossi “Laguna Seca special track, memorable race in 2008!”
The nine-time Yamaha world champion eager to race the Red Bull US Grand Prix
Laguna Seca is a track that has a very particular meaning for Valentino Rossi. The Yamaha rider from Pesaro actually ran one of the most beautiful and important races of his career there; he raced in 2008 and in the race he managed to beat Casey Stoner and the Ducati, who had always been the fastest in testing. From there there also followed controversy for the "corkscrew" overtaking on the Australian, who at the end of the race accused Rossi of unsportsmanlike behavior. Here is Rossi's thought.
“Laguna is a very special track, it is very important for me because there in 2008 I ran one of the best races of my career. The truth is that in other years I have always struggled, so I hope this year to be competitive again. We have made good progress and now we are close to those fighting for victory, but we need to take another step to fight for more victories."

Ah ah ah, memorable, pfffff, incorrect maneuver to be sanctioned and race given away it would be better to say!
But doesn't anyone remember all the other Lagunas?
With the bikes inverted he even fell on his own or on that occasion he would have had to fight to avoid being lapped, ah ah ah these things make me laugh too much, ah ah ah thank goodness sometimes it's necessary.
Ah ah ah, clear example of climbing on mirrors to try to hold up nothing, we are in the present who lives in the past and everyone is behind taking the bait, ah ah ah the farce continues!
To all those who struggle to recognize the fact that Laguna 2008 is one of the most exciting motorcycling pages of the contemporary era, I recommend psychological training to return to reality. The more you deny it, the more strength it gains

then H is incorrect for ki? Stoner said when he fell that it was his fault. then the pass where he went out is a race maneuver where anyone who risked falling was worth it.
this is perhaps the best race of all time and where it matters he has proven to be the best driver.
simply this particular race was lost by stoner, because if he didn't fall he would have finished in front of him.
then if for 4 anti red holes it is incorrect I respect your opinion.
but only that "i.e. your opinion" remains.
the opinion of experts, riders, and various personalities from the motorcycling world and professionals will always remain this. “the most exciting race”
it's a real shame that you are so anti-red because stoner is the only driver to boast of having won various duels with reds in the golden age.
Rossi is everything but he cannot be considered an incorrect driver.
“it's time to have macho cojones..”
What are you saying!!!!????? But watch the cartoons, maybe you understand more!!!!

how much gnawing is behind all that hysterical laughter!!!!
OHHH crazy, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah !!!!!!!!
Well, in my opinion there are those who talk about Moto GP and Valentino but in reality understand very little about it.
– 9 titles cannot be won if you are an idiot or a newbie
– Who knows why when you see a race on any circuit you see a lot of "yellow" among the public.
– I have followed motorcycling for many years and I cannot forget the emotions with Rossi vs. Biaggi, Rossi vs. Gibernau, Rossi who started badly and then made me jump on the sofa during a legendary comeback.
It's fine if he's not your favorite rider but despising him means not understanding a great deal of motorcycling.
The legendary comebacks with tires on Sunday morning?
Ah yes, mythical, it's true.
a spectacular race that left me in suspense the entire time. courageous and spectacular overtaking. point.
shak if in formula one a clearly slower driver hindered you at every turn to prevent you from passing they would take away his license, car and suit before the end of the race and at most they would make him go and sweep the starting lines on desert tracks... ..
that he was able to do it and that he knew how to do it is obvious, but if he were intelligent he would avoid boasting about it... better to forget...
unclepaperino, in f1 a slow driver has every right to hinder those behind and defend the position. they are called trains, and they have always been there in Monte Carlo (and other tracks).
what I'm saying is simply that the race was exciting, as was the overtaking.
and there's no denying that it took some guts to get through there. had it been incorrect, he would have been sanctioned. and let it not be said that someone like Rossi cannot be sanctioned, because when they brushed the box on the starting grid he was relegated to last position.
let's use our brains and evaluate things objectively. even an anti-red fan would have to admit that that race was wonderful, as was the overtaking at the corkscrew
yes shak a driver has the right to defend his position but it doesn't seem right to me to hinder those who are obviously faster by closing every gap, then this tactic will excite you and it's your right, but seeing a valentino insist on cutting all the corners to prevent a 'other who has the only fault of being clearly faster to pass, does not do him credit but only casts doubt on how he managed to win 9 world titles... (equest is not good)
and then all this 'hindering' I don't think is exactly the right spirit, especially for the sake of interpreting a motorcycling race.
It's also true that tensions can form but if someone brakes to obstruct and/or changes lanes they are fined, period.
try to think about the race again, by now you should have overcome the emotion, and then tell me what there is to be so excited about……….
I agree completely
he always braked at different points to hinder him (which was very dangerous)
the wonderful overtaking was the result of an error while braking, he remained standing, no one knows why, overtaking Stoner, clearly cutting the curve, and forcing Stoner to widen to avoid an accident
This is Rossi's masterpiece
looks like shumacher….
everything was allowed to him
However, credit for the duel should rightly be given to the stoner alone, because with the bikes inverted he would not have existed...
Ah ah ah, we bibo!
Can you copy the posts from other parts (blog) for me?
Joking of course, if you copied it you did well, if you didn't then we travel on the same frequency of thought, HELLO BIBO!!!
Here they are again, all the anti-Reds bullshit... you're just pathetic... the numbers speak for themselves... and it doesn't matter a damn what you write... ha ha... he won by distance... ha ha...
Here he is again, the fucking redhead... you're just pathetic... the numbers speak for themselves... and it doesn't matter a damn what you write... ha ha... he lost by detachment.... ha ha...
PS how beautiful and what a fantastic compliment it is for me when they give me anti-redness, thank you thank you!
get better informed!! After the Rossi marketing operation, the Ducati was sold for 10 times the price it had been purchased for, as well as significantly increasing sales on foreign markets.
Rossi means visibility.
even children know it!
but not you !
I don't understand why there is always a need to rage against Rossi.
In 2008 we see Lorenzo a little knocked out on the first lap in T2 with the same bike as Rossi
Rossi won and Stoner came second after crashing into the gravel with 8 laps to go.
Rossi finished the race 16 seconds quicker than in 2007 when Stoner won.
Looking back at the lap times of that race, Stoner had Rossi's pace with some better sharpness.
The others?
Vermulen came third with the Suzuki, 26.6 seconds behind Rossi, then Dovizioso at 34.9 seconds with an unofficial Honda and then Hayden at 35.6 seconds with the first Honda HRC.
Now if for you this meant going slowly and slowing down Stoner you don't understand much about motorbikes, you read the gaps and the times, stop imagining the races the way you like to go against Rossi.

Rossi Out at the 30th of 31 laps while he was eighth at 35 seconds
The only thing I think Rossi can be reproached for is that he did little or nothing with the Ducati and it went very badly. For the rest it seems to me that he has never been very consistent at Laguna Seca but 2008 is his best race on this circuit, so if he wants to remember it as his best performance at Laguna Seca let him do so since it is the only victory obtained so far. To this day, I don't think he says senseless things.
u67
hahahahhahha
you're ridiculous
it definitely wasn't sold at that price for Rossi's performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the problem is that he considers it the best match only because he beat (unsportsmanlike) Casey.
however in 2011 he had the opportunity to understand the real value of stoner...
:-)
Ah this is new, Ducati didn't get into debt to follow the delusions of Precious No, it's not the 10 useless years before Rossi that were the reason why it was sold, but the last 2 years with Rossi.
Congratulations, excellent analysis, in fact Rossi still has a job, the other one has disappeared and I don't think any house has offered him a job………..
...if he doesn't win by separation this time he runs alone, he won't win anymore... let's hope he doesn't end up like his stepfather if he were to fail again!
ande tot kagher goes there
I don't despise Rossi, but most of his fans, who despise all other riders except Rossi (and sometimes Marquez). His fans insult other riders with phrases like "Biaggi and Ducati are a disgrace for Italy (why? because one wins world titles in SBK, while the other tries to keep up with the Japanese giants, and is synonymous with quality ?) “Bautista die like shit (have we reached this point? threaten a rider with death for a normal racing accident? there have been many in history and there will be many, probably if Pesek had been involved, nobody would have cared, not even his fans.) “Cruccilow (yes, that's what he calls him) has a better bike than Rossi, but he's a rider worth nothing. Otherwise with Rossi's bike he wouldn't be in the top 5 ( Since when has Crutchlow been in the official team and Rossi in the satellite team?)” Stoner didn't deserve two world championships, he won them only because Rossì (I thought Rossì raced in Moto2) was in Ducati, otherwise with the bikes reversed he wouldn't have won anything (I always thought it was Stoner who was riding the Ducati in 2007…)”Why do you always blame Rossi instead of Ducati?????Among other things, Rossi has fed many families, because he is the one who makes them do money to journalists and those with cameras!!!! (photographers?) (I understand Ducati is a large company, with a lot of staff, don't they feed their workers?)” the excuse of the injured Lorenzo! !! (Assen) he is only pretending because in the tests he saw that Rossi had fixed the problems and then he knew that Rossi beat him, so he pretended to get hurt!!!!! (The photo of the shoulder x-ray was Photoshopped right?) . These were some comments taken from various forums. I don't mind Rossi, but some of his fans exaggerate a lot.
BRAVO!
Thank you!
You know, dearest Bryan, what you said, which is also what I think, is a sacrosanct truth, BUT they are useless words and wasted time because we can continue to say this endlessly or try to make these idiots understand but Nothing changes anyway, they are there, they are like that and they will never change.
The only thing is to anxiously await the retirement of this character at least and I hope all these things that go around us will disappear.
Hello.
Those who are not really passionate about the world championship will disappear with Rossi's retirement, luckily you will also find Rossi fans who are passionate about the world championship, and who will admit if he makes a mistake. For example, I found a Rossi fan who said that in his opinion the overtaking at Laguna Seca was irregular, I think it is more unique than rare, but I would be happy to be proven wrong...
True, I also know some of his fans with ok brains, but unfortunately it's the majority on that side that aren't good.
I am convinced that the antipathy that people have on VR is partly due to 50% directly to him with his attitudes that we know very well and the other 50% caused by the rabble that follows him.
