It really was, wasn't it. Huge gaps between the top 6.

I think every race I've ever watched at Estoril, be it cars or bikes has
been a total snoozefest.

How about Elias nipping Rossi last few yards in, umm, 2006?
Year I attended was pretty good too with Gibby tossing away
the lead when it started to drizzle - 2001.
Go fast. Take chances.

Was it Estoril 2006 when Pedrosa took Hayden out? I think that's the
first MotoGP race I remember watching! Don't know how I forgot that. I
only started watching MotoGP then - despite having 'bikes for 15 years I
always enjoyed watching 4-wheeled racing more. I'm a convert now though.

Yep. I remember the motivational poster style thing that
was sent around after. Her it is:
