Urgh! How come whenever I shoot bikes it chucks it down with rain?!

Anyway, MotoGP at Donington Park today:


Colin Edwards pops over the crest:

Rossi failed make an impact on the timesheets:

Capirossi had a challenge keeping the power of the Ducati in line and was permanently on the verge of crashing:

Good stuff Pete, I've not sorted any of mine yet, still drying out from probably my wettest outing of the year so far!

So much better than cars don't you think? what part of the circuit were the first two shots taken from?

Thanks for the shots, you deserve a medal for being out there.
But hey I thought it was supposed to be summer over there? That rain threatens to turn the races into a procession.

Fantastic shots, great job in the rain. Like the Capirossi shot the best with the reflection of the bike in the water on the track.

I hate all of you going this weekend as I should be there myself but couldnt get out of working :( Shame as I have only missed two or three races since Wayne Rainey (The Greatest) won his first race in 1987 i think. I was only just wondering how all my mates are and hoping the campsite is miserable for them..lol

Still excellent shots and look forward to seeing more. Hope all of you going tomorrow enjoy the racing, when the motogp starts spare a thought for this race fan stuck working at Gatwick...:(

If you can get to Starkys bridge I am sure someone would of ripped down the barbed wire already, also keep an eye out in the static aircraft on the infield, last year people were climbing up and getting into the aircraft...
