then he looks down at the bike like it did something wrong,
he should look at his right hand. the one that grabbed a gang
of throttle!!! lol
I dont know if that's necessarily true. If I'm not mistaken, GP bikes have been using some sort of launch control for at least a year now. So maybe something went wrong with it?

+1
On Rossi's ride it is a little green button on the left grip, I think.
They also have traction control that actually works now.But one thing I have wondered about, is that on the starting line, both the suzuki's anyway, are reving the engine really fast, I don't know if it's to keep the bike from stalling or what, but it's kinda strange.
honda does not use launch control. they have enough other shit to worry about. ducati was the first to use it and i think only yamaha is the other one to use it thus far...

maybe he forgot it was in gear?
Perhaps. Everyone fucks up sometime--just one of his times I guess.
And launching on one of those things minus launch control is sick. Especially in the days of 500cc 2-strokes..my God...balls.
