MotoGP, A Ducati bolting: rodeo-style for Aldeguer as he starts

Some people think that riding a MotoGP bike is 'easy,' that electronics think of everything--nothing could be further from the truth. Just ask Aldeguer and take a look at the photos below. The Team Gresini rookie, before the lunch break in Buriram, was busy with his practice starts. Dumping the nearly 300 hp of the Desmosedici onto the asphalt is not a trivial operation, and he was able to see that for himself.

Fermin understood how violent a rampaging MotoGP bike can be, and to keep it at bay he had to improvise as a cowboy. With all that horsepower beneath him, the Ducati went into a fury and first wheelies and then slides trying to throw him off the saddle. All credit to the Spaniard therefore for keeping his nerve and getting away with a scare. To us, he gave some beautiful images.
