How many times have we heard this during the season?
And regarding improvements from Yamaha, Rossi has to play his part. As lead team rider, Rossi is responsible for Yamaha bike and Michelin tyre development. Yet, he leaves development and testing to Edwards (who really lacks the capability to do this) whilst Rossi's off doing Ferrari tests, WRC drives, etc.
Then, Rossi (& his fans) have the cheek to blame Yamaha & Michelin for doing a bad job!!!
Basically, he has got exactly what he deserved. Rossi's lazy compared with someone like Hayden.
If Rossi dedicates himself 100% to bike development and testing, then perhaps he will have a decent package in 2008. After all, he's paid enough - he should put the work and effort in.

Historically/statistically V.Rossi is still #1 rider, D.Pedrosa is #2 and C.Stoner is #3, but if it is combined between riders, motors and tyres, C.Stoner, Ducati and Bridgestone is the best package. Looking at motor speed/power Ducati is the fastest/best, Honda is #2 and Yamaha is #3 ( comparing these 3 motors only ). Michelin is better tyre than Bridegestone on Qualifying tyre only ( this year ) but worse on race tyres. V.Rossi is the best on Michelin race tyre and D.Pedrosa is the best on Michelin Qualifiying tyre.

to finish 2nd seems hardly something to be ashamed of.....besides, let's see where mr. stoner will be next year, does the name "hayden" ring a bell?

Comment by M. Arianto was well said. Actually the championship was lost by Valentino not by his fault because he still won some races. But clearly the rest of the riders did not pull their weight and evryone ofthem let Casey Stoner slip by and let rossi do all the work trying to win races and split the points. This includes Melandri, Toni elias, Nicky hayden , Colin Edwardsand the rest of the field including Kurtis Roberts. I just wonder WHY The Roberts Family even bother to show up for the Races. Hey if Lance Armstrong shows up on a TREK he will probably overtake Kurtis Roberts and Kenny Roberts Junior down the CorkScrew. As for Casey Moaner we have all seen one time world champions
