That was such an awesome shot.

I heard, on good authority fom someone there, that not long before that shot, our very own Leo was seen whispering into a concealed mike.
Lo and behold, purely coincidently or COURSE, Marco pulled said huge slide.
The only question in my mind is not whether advice or permission was given, nore whether it was to purely Leo's agreement to a late night tete-a-tete that in fact cause Marco's flambouyant display, but in fact, whether this advice, permission and agreement is in fact puting truth to the rumour that Marco will be riding Ducati next year and this in truth explains Leo's suprise appearance and regalia????

We can only hope further snippets escape the mouths of those priveleged enough to have witnessed his appearance.

I agree Vic snobs. They think they are "all that" because they have the GP and the Supers...

That is so far the coolest thing I have ever seen. It even beats Chargers pulling wheelies. I have been playing it over in my mind trying to imagine doing it. In fact I blame it for me bashing my ankle painfully on the washing machine today, as I wasn't paying attention due to the above.

Melandri, you sir, Rock.

from memory (which is a little hazy) the course TV wasnt covering marco...i remember looking up to see the end of the slide, but missing the 1st part...how good is he tho...
