Marco Melandri Smoking it up

[StraightR1Chaos]

He's like I'm bad ass and I know it.

[TheMightyBo1]

That is what happens when you let ugly kids on motorcycles and Daddy's paying for the tyres !

[MiamiGT2010]

@kawimotojunkie Thanks for the answer! You are right, no traction on the rear tire. It means that it can't be done in the first laps right?

[MiamiGT2010]

Anyone knows how he did that? Low gear, high rpms and front braking? Maybe not braking and just countersteering...

[kawimotojunkie]

@MiamiGT2010 His rear tire was probably fried. Since there was no traction he could initiate a slide that would normally result in a high-side when the rear tire regained traction. No traction=no high-side. He's also a pimp, that probably helps a lot.

[DVeck89]

Skills!! Slightest nano-scale mistake and he'd be high-siding

[thefourthfunkateer]

Awesome Marco!!

[Concenflen]

Can somebody tell me if Melandri that year was an HRC rider (like Sic was this year) or he had a custom Honda?

[titanio784]

[gearViewmirror]

@DareToDevil the song is by The Cult,an english rock band!

[ALOASecurity]

That was a total work of art. Absolutely beautiful and perfect. The fact he held it one hand made it over the top. I can't stop watching it. Would love a poster of that.

Greg Rust always seems to get most excited watching MotoGP. His reaction to this reminds of James Allen on the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix video.
