| | Qualifing Round for 250cc bikes | |
| |
| | Rossi takes pole position | |
| | | MotoGP Qualifing Round, Tamada does well but is not in the top 5. | |
|
| | | Rossi on his Repsol Honda | |
|
| |
| | | My next bike? I certainly like the way it fits! | |
|
| |
| |
| | Aprilia makes a good showing | |
| |
| | | Tamada hits Victory Corner perfectly every time | |
|
| | Others aren't so lucky. Many riders went down here. | |
| | | In fact, all four American riders crashed out of the race in corner 1. | |
|
| | Some sustained broken bones. | |
| | | Others managed to rejoin the race. | |
|
| | Bikes and riders both take a beating early on in the race. | |
| | | Motegi's 3 straights allowed for some good top speeds | |
|
| |
| | Big Crowd! The Japanese support their motorsports! | |
| |
| | | Essential spectator gear- Binoculars, sun hat, and dew rag | |
|
| | The battle for 1st place was fierce .... Tamada and Rossi fight it out | |
| | | There are many corner upsets | |
|
| | But Tamada is consistent and eventually widens the gap over Rossi | |
| | | Rossi although taking pole position eventally came in second | |
|
| | While Tamada brings home the championship to Team Camel | |
| | | The winning bike was once again a Honda | |
|
| |
| | Always service with a smile! | |
| |
| | | Preaching the benefits of good rubber | |
|
| | | Now that's what I call smokin' | |
|
| |
| | | Ducati is gonna release a Desmo v4 to the public! | |
