Totally agree, he's a talking a 'sleeping tablet', WTF were MotoGP.com thinking and how long will they keep him? He may have been a talented rider, but he struggles to string a sensible question together.
I remember when james toseland went from wsb to moto gp and the first few races he took no prisoners and was getting decent results. Until a riders meeting (including rossi) meant the established said this is not bumper cars but the premier class so jt got a warning, changed his style and didn't last long.
Getting caught by someone who has already had a ride through penalty and lost 27 seconds probably hurt Rossi more than his little tumble.
I thought he Rossi incident was more of a mis judgement than a "get out of the way" thing. The clash with Espagaro was more blatant. Given how fast MM was I don't see why he couldn't wait rather than overtake on the wettest corner of the track. Combined with his clash with Vinales in practice in similar circumstances it does indicate a certain dis respect for others race or safety. Personally I think that he has been so successful in such a short time that he almost feels invincible and too big to fail. As in Honda's power will smooth it all over and I just shrug and say racing incident. Racing is racing and stuff happens, but when it happens too often it's more of a mind set.
Have you only just noticed ? Humility has never been one of his strengths. Fair play though, he was the one to get across the finish line first on the day in challenging conditions. Andy
Fooking prick sure he glanced up at a screen before launching his handbag drama queen sent by the queen you couldn't make it up.....nice 1 cal top man no corporate bollocks, even though he has a hrc contract he does not lick arse top fella and ridiculously fast rider, if he stays on this season probably top 3 but as always we will be worried he bins it until he passes the flag.....absolutely fantastic start this season a top 3 or 4 would have been brilliant.
I used to sound like that when i got on a heavy session on a home made bong. Stopped in the end as i kept dribbling and ruining my t shirts.
I remember Rossi making moves like that back in the day, and nobody batted an eyelid, it was called hard racing, I think the real problem here is everybody can see MM will eclipse everything that Rossi has ever done and the fan boys don't like it
Crafer out ....its not an old pals act the bloke is totally shit....suzi perry for me, knowledgeable, interested, charisma, totally nice to look at too.
I don't think at even into his early 30's onwards mm will get close to Rossi at a similar age, plenty of competition approaching too, Rossi dealt with some real quality over the years, watching the riding styles I'd say rossi's style is more suited to longevity but mm needs to be ultra fit to ride effectively Rossi is smooth less energy needed imo.
