I saw it live (on telly)..I've seen it a few times since...and I could watch it again and again...It's a special little bit of racing history that I'll never forget.

Thanks boxerboy...:thumbs_up:

From the angle shown there and on the television it certainly looked like Rossi may have been nasty in that last turn. Then, I was lucky enough to watch it over and over from a lot of different angles and listen to Freddy Spencer explain how Sete literally gave it away with his set up in that last turn. Coming from Freddy, one of the world's best and certainly one of the world's smartest MC racers, it was really something.

Great to see it again, though I doubt Gibernau would think so.

There is certainly a wide gap between boys-and-their-toys and men-and-their-machines. These guys are incredible!

That's the closest Gibernau ever got to actually WINNING a race last year.
Although, he's doing OK in practice:
