Rossi lost a couple of races this year but he never lost like this. First Istanbul MotoGP was a nightmare for him. He couldn't do any attack after taking 2nd place. He was so desperate in whole race, and so sad after the race. He just waited a mistake from Melandri but Melandri had a magnificient concentration and he made all that he need to win against Rossi. All Turkish spectators were waiting Rossi's victory including me. We were thinking that it was a Rossi game again: starting from behind, catch the leader, play with him a couple of laps, passing him, letting him pass, passing him again... But no, this time he couldn't.
For those who missed 125cc race, you missed a big race. First six racers were always in a lane. Never saw that much competition in a motorcycle race from the beginning to the end.
