10. That's a lot of horsepower in one photograph.

9. The car, not the photo, gets the nod. One of our all-time favorites.

7. We have to hand it to the Stock Car Brasil series: it's colorful. But it's also competitive, exciting and fun to watch.

6. You may think Valentino Rossi doing a wheelie after a race is common place (and you'd be right). But we've never seen such a nice shot of Vale.

5. Do we really need to explain ourselves on this one?

1. There is so much weirdness going on in this photo that it had to be #1. From Lorenzo's body language (and standing on the tire wall) to the fire (?) burning in the fan area on the left, this image gets a 10 out of 10 for "uniqueness."
