Swings and roundabouts Blue Puma and Yam46! Some people will never understand that speed is not the be all and end all to winning a race. It's here in black and white, yet you still choose to believe Rossi must be superhuman to be able to win on this dog slow, total pig of a motorcycle that is a huuuuuuge 4 or 5km/h slower than the fastest bikes.
I reckon with a new set of plugs and quick carb balance, my old Z1R would give that gutless, ill-handling M1 a run for it's money. Look out Valentino!!!

Bob, I wonder where Stoner and Pedrosa would be if their bikes were 5 kph slower than Rossi? They simply wouldn't be able to compete. It goes to show just how much more performance Rossi can extract from his machine.

There is no comparison!!! That's a career for most current MotoGP riders. Stoner is Thee Man's only challenge to date.

The truth hurts Bob, doesn't it?
Figures don't lie.

Rossi is simply the best and no current GP rider can stand in his shadow.
Number 9 is comming next year, mark my words.

I think this is an excellent summation of what I saw this season..

"Using only Rossi''s points, Yamaha would still have won the constructors'' championship, by 52 points over Ducati, while Fiat Yamaha would have finished second (just 31 points behind Repsol Honda) in the teams'' title!"

Amazing isn''t? How the power of will, keen to learn something new (tyre), trust and the combination of hardwork from great engineer, great team and the great rider it self could bring something like this? This is a superb achievement indeed!

You''re truly the GOAT Rossi! Enjoy your time, you''re an absolute legend on two wheels.. My personal privileged to live and to watch you racing out there..

Good evening ! My question is why dont Ducati just buy Rossi? Its more logical as i have heard he is the best in the world. He can win on anything and he was seen doing some four wheel stuff n all. He was pretty impressive in that too. So wouldnt it be fair if all the companies kinda have a ROSSI auction and who ever wins the bid wins the title. That way we dont need to fight and take revenge on the internet.

Cheers:)

Thanks, but we got enough articles praising Rossi. This also has a backside: Rossi is not only a trully skilled rided, he is also a ruthless person: He can completly swith his brain off and run as dangerously as suicidal. This happened in previous seasons, this happened this year. It's a sign that Rossi suffers badly from borderline personality.

asmaco: That is a very interesting analysis. You must be qualified to do so.

Please share more. You can't just say "... Rossi suffers badly from borderline personality" and that is that.

Looking forward to your next post.
