Great action shots. that seagull . ick

I've been watching Rossi since the previous class. So exciting before he left team Yamaha a few years ago to go to Ducati.

Good stuff! Lorenzo needs to thank his lucky stars, if that would have hit him in the leg it would have had the potential to rip him clean off the bike. I once had a sparrow collide with my helmet at around 70 M.P.H. and I was seeing "stars" like in the cartoons when somebody gets knocked over the head.

Good shots, particularly #2
I'd clone that distracting, very eye catching bright spot out that's above Valentino's helmet.
