Remember those good ol' days when Rossi would just f*ck with people for 3/4 of the race and then check out like it was nothing? Well he left all of that behind to go ride a Yammy when it was absolutely the worst bike on the grid and I believe he was quoted as saying it was because he wanted a challenge when asked why he would sign a contract to ride the biggest POS out there. Just some food for thought and to play . . . well. . . my advocate.

Bold #1 - very debateable and the history books don't support it; three words: Agostini or Hailwood

Bold #2 - Three more words: Kawasaki and Suzuki. The Yamaha was never the biggest POS on the grid. Rossi is a legend already, he doesn't need anyone padding the facts on his behalf.

Bold #3 - Rossi left because of the control Honda had over his life. Yes he left for the challenge but lets be clear it was a calculated move which brought not only Rossi but the majority of his multiple title winning Honda team including the winningest team manager in Moto GP, J. Burgess.

The Yamaha was not a POS. Even demi-gods can't turn sh*t into silk.
