Its gotta be frustrating when you're the best/most talented rider on the circuit and essentially relegated to spectator as a result of your sub par bike/tire package. It's true the Yahama has never been the fastest, but it's also true that it's progressively getting worse. The best rider should at least be on competitive equipment....clearly he is not. I hope that Rossi gets his opportunity to put the smack down once again and reclaim what is rightfully his. Yamaha rested on its laurels and the competition blew by em. He's got every right to call em out on it and light a fire under their *****.

Exactly Hayden beat Rossi in 06..... and Hayden was hardly impressive in doing so in taking the title then as he did which leaves Rossi looking well... average without having a tyre advantage they were both on the same Michelins! same goes for 07. A good rider will overcome disadvantages if he is genuinly vastly superior and not just "lucky". Yamaha and Honda same tyres again and HRC again beat Rossi but with "another rider" So Hayden then Pedrosa and Stoner all relative newcommers to MotoGP beat Rossi. "Thats the rest of the story"

Consider also Stoner in 07 was on equal machinery to two experienced gp riders Loris Capirosi and also Alex Barros and they had difficulty matching his also...

Woooooow Marty! Listen to yourself! Do you HONESTLY believe that if Rossi was on the exact same machinery as Stoner, that Stoner would beat him? Are you serious? OMG! I think you're the only person who does. I bet Stoner doesn't even believe that. It's one thing to dislike a rider but, to start reaching for the stars is something totally different. It's o.k. to dislike Rossi I suppose but, wait till someone has hmmmmm 7 world titles or so before you say they are better than the "average" Rossi. I think I may said this before but, Rossi is KING!

Hey the facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored as has been previously mentioned... I dont hate anyone actually just do not beleave in fairy tales either, I follow more the technical facts than emotional!
Rossi in 'fact' and since the tyre rule change has been beaten by THREE total new comers to the premier class racing.
Hayden 06 then Stoner and Pedrosa 07 there can be no denying that the three new guys have way less experience on moto gp machinery than Rossi, so given equal advantage then Rossi just is not that much better based on this stat. Would Rossi beat Stoner on eaqual machinery??? no not necessarily at all its not a forgon conclusion by any means, emotions aside!!!
