Valentino Rossi started the 2003 Australian GP from pole position in what would be a memorable day for more than one reason. Marco Melandri took an early lead before getting tangled with Troy Bayliss. Rossi would find himself at the front before the GP was turned on its head as the #46 received a 10-second penalty for overtaking under yellow flags. The reigning World Champion put down the hammer, beginning one of the most impressive performances we’ve ever seen. Rossi stretched the margin to 15.212s at the flag, making his official winning margin 5.212s over Loris Capirossi and Nicky Hayden.
