MotoGP Classics - 2000 British GP: Rossi's first 500c win

[@fagabrizio]

Rossi in a glance: shitty start, awesome recover, fantastic win. Unmatchable

[@polygamous1]

Rossi the Senna of Motorcycling racing, Agostini the Sterling Moss of yesteryears Racing n I respect them ALL

[@derf9465]

He was never great at starts, to busy pulling his leathers out of his.......

[@Daddy53751]

He always seemed to enjoy the chase rather than checking out.

[@therealjuralumin3416]

Norick Abe! Such a crazy riding style, I love it! He was Rossi’s Idol back then, before Rossi was “The Doctor” he had the nickname “Rossifumi” since Norifumi “Norick” Abe was his favourite rider. He must’ve loved racing with him. RIP Norifumi, you are greatly missed.

[@bunny.thebest9103]

A beast in motorsports. Absolutely classic victory by Rossi. One of my favourite races in MotoGP. The three were sublime throughout the race.

[@TheTraditionalGolfer]

What a very special rider Valentino Rossi is and was in his prime at his peak he was just sublime a joy to watch and still is i was there this day and have been to every British grand prix he has competed in for the last 21 years of his premier class career ive even named my son after him what a rider will be sadly missed and without a doubt for me the greatest of all time.

Roberts is really underrated. this race proves what he said. the only one guy able to follow him in the wet was McWilliams with the lighter bicylinder.

Rossi, 9 time world champion. 125GP, 250GP, 500GP, MotoGP. legendary. characteristic Rossi style : 1. bad start. 2. picks off riders one by one as he makes his way to front. 3. hangs behind the leaders through the race to preserve tires and evaluate his competition while calculating the best place to pass. hence the nickname "The Doctor". 4. makes his big move near the end while the others are struggling on worn tires. in later seasons, there were cameras in the fairing looking back at the riders. i loved watching Rossi's hands dance on and feather the controls. don't see that now with the electronic nannies on the 4-strokes.

Coming up from far behind to win is what made Rossi possibly one of the most exciting racers to watch in GP history. How many races did Rossi perform this hat trick when in his prime, a good many. He wasn't nicknamed "the doctor" for nothing but if they had called him the bulldog it would have been just as appropriate.

[@jacktorrance7847]

corvidcee Wow nice over blown reaction bud, is that a normal thing for you? How bout you take your own advice and get ppplleeeassee get 'yer hand off it. 2 strokes development had gone far past its peak, 250+hp 4strokes with room to move are far more interesting than 180hp 2 strokes that had only minor updates over the last decade. 4 strokes had to be tamed too, its just that it went down the route of electronics to do so, allowing small riders to ride big bikes and turning the current bikes into fast 250gp/moto2 bikes - rather convenient for the spanish run dorna as they can now have lots of spaniards racing in the premier class. The electronics thing could easily be remedied by going to a control ecu but that will never happen. So keep living in the past if you like, they still race historic bikes but i prefer to see something less limited.

[@JETZcorp]

Jack Torrance Two-strokes haven't reached their peak; direct injection changes everything in a two-stroke. And while it's true the four-strokes have more power, they're also much larger displacement. Make everyone run 500cc and we'll see just how played-out the two-stroke design is.

[@jacktorrance7847]

JETZcorp Peak not end, the bikes were looking the same each year, and the only engine innovations were the 2 and 3 cyc which struggled to be competitive in racing (which is all that matters), and fuel injection on the aprilla which they also ditched. Also who cares what makes the most hp per cc, its an incredibly simplistic view on racing.
