I hope so, he has been fun to watch all these years!

Here's Crutch's quote:
“Myself and Andrea will be pushing 100 per cent to try and be competitive with the other guys on the grid, even though it's not going to be easy. I'm also really looking forward to all the support from the Ducati fans at our home race, and I feel sure it's going to be crazy!”

I'm sure you all remember Mr. Simoncelli and what happened to him. I posted a photo the other day in expectation of this: He was inducted in to the MotoGP hall of fame today...well deserved as he was a legend amongst the fans and his peers.

The Doctor has an appointment with destiny. His prescription? Winning his 300th Grand Prix

CNN.Com:

"On Sunday one of Italy's greatest sons Valentino Rossi celebrates a special anniversary as the man known to all on two wheels as "The Doctor" lines up for his 300th MotoGP race.

And what a special stage for such a special day.

Coiled like a basking viper in the Tuscan hills lays Mugello, the Ferrari-owned circuit that may be both MotoGP's most evocative and beautiful.

"Mugello is incredibly special," British TV commentator Julian Ryder told CNN. "It is frighteningly fast, with a long straight and lots of very high speed 'S' bends."

Bedded into an undulating valley, its topography gives the thousands of spectators that will throng here this weekend a near perfect view of the track.

"It's one of the longest races on the calendar, and it's got everything," added former MotoGP rider and double World Superbike champion James Toseland.

"You hit 215mph at the end of the Mugello Straight, and carving through the valley at that speed is pretty incredible.

"Phillip Island (in Australia) maybe shades it for the view you get of the ocean, but it's a beautiful place."

"All the riders really enjoy the event. The support, the camping, the scenery, it's like a mini-festival."

On Sunday you can expect the grandstands to be a sea of fluorescent yellow, the color worn by Rossi's army of fans...."

Great race and great riding!

Don't particularly care for Lorenzo but he certainly pushed Macquez today.

Six in a row for the young pup.

Good to see the young Aussie is still top in Moto3 as well!

That was INCREDIBLE!

If you didn't enjoy that, you're not a racing fan.

Was good to see Vale on the podium as well for his 300th. Well I didn't actually see the podium thanks to our "amazing" US coverage, but I can imagine. lol

Oh so that bothers you as well?
I have hated that they don't show the podium, or the "news talks" after the race since they quit showing them.

I agree. An incredible race.
Lorenzo was on a mission!

The race was awesome...the best of the year so far. To recap, here's some photos of the epic duel and the Bwin girls:






























and then this happened as well between Bradl and Crutchlow:
