Re: How to do a post-race interview--Moto GP SPOILER
Let's see how the M1 & Rossi does next weekend @ Lagun Seca.
I am/was a Rossi fan till Nicky started making things interesting.
This should be an awsome race weekend. I'd love to see an
american sweep, but, I ain't holding my breath.
Anyone else from RMD going? Let's hook up for a cold one.

I love the way Valentino Rossi shows his heart in his post race interviews. If
you've ever heard him, try to put his unique voice into this quote from
CycleNews.com:
³So this result is quite unbelievable for me and for my team because during the
practice, I was always behind and struggling with the bike, a lot of problems,²
Rossi began, ³but I need to say sorry to my M1 because yesterday was the first
time I have some doubt on the possibility of win today. But a great thank you to
my team, to Jeremy (Burgess), to everybody, all the guys, all the mechanics,
Matteo (Flamigni), all the engineers from Yamaha, because we change another time
this morning, we change another time this afternoon, we arrive step by step at
the right setting and today the M1 fly and is very good.²
Is very good.
