Hayden for 2006 had the measure of Rossi. Ultimately a title decides that. That doesn't mean Hayden is the better rider  but if the leg humpers are going to insist it's the rider and not the entire package then that is the result.
You can't have it both ways bud.
Bottom line, if it was just the rider when Rossi went over to Yamaha then answer me this; why did Rossi need to take the most successful Moto GP team manager and his entire multi-title Honda winning crew with him?  Then consider that Jeremy Burgess is not in favour of the one tire rule... Seems to me that it isn't the tires. |
it clearly is not just the tires, it also is the bike
the ducati makes more power, the TC is better and the tires are better and stoner is not bad either
that does not mean all of the sudden rossi sucks and has lost some of his step cause look at the nearest yamy after that and the great HRC team blows all in all.
