That's from superbikeplanet.com. I wouldn't call the above an 'article' it's more like a short collection of words that someone pooped out to frame advertisements around. “The Doctor finished third, while former archrival Biaggi finished eighth.” That’s from superbikeplanet.com.

Dovi and team mate won but what about Second? Third? Rossi's position and Biaggi's position? This article seems focused on a standard overtake.

You can clearly see the logo on the radiator shroud. IIRC he has ridden TMs before during his Ducati days ase they are not direct competitors. Is Rossi still (officially) under contract to Ducati until the end of the year? That could explain why he isn't promoting Yamaha even if he is testing the MotoGP bike.

Doesn't look like an XT-660, anyway. Doubt it.

You have no rear view mirrors and if you don't hear the other rider coming you don't know he's coming. That’s assuming the rider in front knows he’s close to being passed.

The point is still valid, when you're a motogp racer racing supermoto and motocross is likely to result in some injuries, but thought we'd see Vale do something crazy.
