Marco with the peace sign has been my go to when showing people about MotoGP for years

Marco Melandri's drift is just iconic... A M A Z I N G!

i miss those time no traction control or any rider aids just pure skills of the rider

Marco drifting one handed..to cool for THAT race, just brilliant skill and confidence allows this.

The 990 era was great, but the 2 stroke 500cc era will forever be the pinnacle of MotoGP.

The man who introduced drifting was surely Gary Mac Coy. I remember one slide where, at the entrance to a left-hand bend, his rear wheel was also sliding to the left and as soon as he leaned his bike, the rear wheel slid back to the right. He was a master at this 😅

Melandri at Phillip Island was just such a flex -- he smoked everyone that day !

[StoffelDilligas]

When Melandri was on form, he was amazing.

Marco Melandri, last turn onto the main straight at Phillip Island, 2006. My first live MotoGp experience. I was seated on the main straight. Forever etched in my memory. The first of many visits to 'The Island'.

Gary McCoy used to do this through every other corner. A forgotten legend.

The king drifting in motogp gary mccoy

[AmbaSnakeman]

Melandri slided on rain tires, last corner up right. Vale did it leading a race on slicks with more lean - that was crazy.

Melandri's drifting is absolutely unforgegable.. 💯

[mikaeleurenius]

Wow, how I miss this. Unbelievable that Dorna are gradually killing this sport.

Perfect soundtrack for this video 😮
Yeah, that's some awesome riding 💯
Damn, dude one hands it, and puts up a peace sign, and then nods his head
Cool 😎

[brenttrading]

Doing it with one hand in the air ...that's some confidence .💪

[bryanhill]

The control is insane!!!! The peace sign just shows how much confidence he has!

[peterlarsen]

Melandri's powerslide is by far the _coolest_ and best! Bar none!
