when I was able to watch 250 and 500 gp stuff fairly regularly a bunch of years ago, I'm pretty certain I remember a 250 race with Rossi playing cat and mouse with a Jap. rider I think, each one not wanting to be leading the last 10 laps or so, with Rossi sometimes wheeling down the front straight just to **** the guy off behind him so that he would lose his cool and go in front.

anyone else remember that? It was a real lark anyway whoever it was. the best part was that sure enough the guy got so ticked off that he went ahead and Rossi was able to pip him at the end and win. I seem to remember the guy not being exactly happy during the post race interviews or podium.
