    Not sure what happened to my text, but I'll try again. This one rates right up there as one of my favorites in roadracing. If others have favorites they would like to post, please do so. I like to watch them for morning coffee

      I like the way Schwantz does corners with his head up. He's 5'11" tall, kinda tall for MotoGP.

        Listed at 5'10, but I think that's generous. Stood right next to him at a bar in Monterey during the WSB weekend in '98, I'd guess more like 5'8"-5'9". Still above average for a GP rider.

        That was an amazing race, remember watching it back then, probably on Speed Vision? Somewhere buried in a box I've got it on VHS tape.

          It maybe that the other riders are shorter as rich mention's. There was a rider in WSB named Reuben Xuas rode for Ducati who seemed rather tall. Fun to watch crawl all over the bike. In the above Suzuka race, the layout of the track, is very technical. A straightaway that is probably 2 cars wide at the entrance to a turn turns into 1 car wide. couple of blind corner hills. I enjoy where Schwantz or Rainy are setting up passes 3 corners before the actual pass. that season had all manufacuters in contention with great riders. New MotoGP is just not like that any more

              Marco Simoncelli was an even 6' and was GP250 World Champ in 2008.
              Of course with the hair he was 6' 4'.

                  In memory of Irish Road Racing… if the TT is never to be held again.

                    How can someone go that fast on public roads? It's almost like a Brown County Indiana ride...

                              I'm thinking of trying that this year, my G trailered down there, so I won't worry if me or it breaks.
