No matter what your opinion is on the subject of Rossi's grumbling you have to accept the current facts.
1. Even though he's the most successful rider in this era, Rossi has lost his impression of invincibility.
2. The M1 vs. the rest of the field debate passes the time but ultimately its frivolous. If the teams in the pit are chasing their tails then we have no idea and can only conject.
3. Bridgestone had better tires this season, however Michelin dominated the sport since the Doohan era. So my question is why is this an issue now? Maybe I'am missing somthing but I thought that competition was to further developement?
4. Both Rossi and Doohan were the greatest of their time for what ever rack of variables, but the racing was bland and predictable and the only way to appreciate the sport in those times was to accept the fact that there was no competition and it was a one man show. This did little to encourage growth in the sport.
5. No matter how you feel about the current champion ("
Kicky") 2006 was the most dramatic and eventful season in many years.
