\"rossi-lorenzo\"<\/b><\/h2>\n

Rossi vs. Stoner\u2014Laguna Seca 2008<\/b><\/h2>\n

The breathtaking corkscrew, two of the most talented riders of all time, and the two bikes that possibly have shaped the dreams of MotoGP<\/strong> lovers for years. That\u2019s got to be motorcycle racing\u2019s most iconic overtake, isn\u2019t it? Stoner had won the previous year, bringing Ducati to world dominance, but Rossi wasn\u2019t having any of it and was well on his way to bringing the title back to the Yamaha<\/strong> garage.<\/p>\n

On the Californian racetrack the pair battled throughout the entire race, exchanging move after move and knowing well that the 2008 crown was on the line.<\/p>\n

Eventually, mid-race, it was Rossi<\/strong> making the move on the Aussie in spectacular fashion at the infamous corkscrew, tailoring a spectacular block pass at turn 7 and ending up in the sand at turn 8 before finally escaping with the lead.<\/p>\n

Was all of it legal? Erm, no, of course not. But the move was so brave and the pass so thrilling that we\u2019re grateful nobody said a word. One of the greatest moments, not only in motorcycle racing but, without a shadow of a doubt, in all motorsport. Back when things were simpler and more dangerous, riders actually had to pull the clutch to downshift.<\/p>\n
