Pretty Nifty

Every now and then you come across something on the web that just smacks you in the face as ‘oh so cool’ because you realize that computers have come a long way in such a short time… While checking the Ducati boards tonight I ran across this amazingly good looking gif animation of the now heavily debated last corner bump between Valentino Rossi and Sete Gibernau at the end of last weekend’s MotoGP race in Spain. After reading countless columns and web forum postings about the incident I still have no idea if it was legal, just or even fair and I certainly have no idea whos fault it was. What I do know that it did make for some pretty fantastic television and perhaps that’s really all that counts when you get to the highest level in the land.

If you’re interested in reading a really nicely written review of the whole episode, I strongly suggest you check out fellow motorcycle blogger Alanf’s MotoGP Smackdown… entry. Well worth the price of admission
