you can't compare them, they do different things very well

don't try to bait me pleez. i did not say stoner was no good on the contrary. i do think however the stones and the duke were miles ahead of other bikes
Again this goes to the man v. machine v. team now. I'm not baiting you, I'm asking you. How do you explain when the team manager, the current Yamaha team manager with more titles than anyone who has developed winning talent to the top level completely disagrees with Rossi's assessment of the tire situation. He may not be a rider but his opinion carries as much weight as Rossi's, arguably more. When Rossi retires Burgess will still be around. Just as when Mick Doohan retired.

It's not baiting calling out a distinct contrast whenever the discussion of rossi v. whoever is world champion comes out is it?

You still haven't addressed the stats I've put up. Forget opinion, I don't expect to change yours but address the stats because they are as clear as they can be.
