He is almost always positive.

As long as things are going well for him, I seem to remember him pissing n moaning quite a bit last season.


He rarely publicly complains and when he does people listen, because he has a point--like about Michelin tires (tough to argue after this last weekend) and his bike at the end of last year. It is not like he is talking out of his butt, he just wants the tools to compete. The only one I can really compare him to, is Nicky Haden. Yeah Rossi is a big nutcase with an odd sense of humour, and Nicky plays it much straighter, but they are both mentally similar in their approach, IMO.

Think about Caseys attitude: passing too tough (waaahhh)

Im confused.......didnt Vale wahhh a few yrs ago when Elias passed him rather aggressively, multiple times during the race IIRC? **see below**

The problem I have with Vale is he doesnt want others to get away with what he has. I dont see Casey's concerns being out of line cuz the bottom line is this, if Vale or someone else making a dangerous pass fvcks up and takes him out, it's his livelyhood at stake. Say what you want about racing and rubbing is racing but I dont know of any org that condones or encourages it. I think Casey took the pussy route for not shaking his hand, if anything, I would had said Vale congrats but always remember....what goes around comes around. I think that would of left Vale more concerned than anything.


, Rossi doesn't deserve B-Stones, etc. When he is winning all is good, but he doesn't handle adversity very well, at least in public. He does come off a bit spoiled.

Who would you want as a role model for your kids? Rossi? Stoner? Hayden? I would be happy with 2 of those 3.


I gotta question, will Valentino Rossi ever be the villian in the eyes of the zillameisters?

Oh well, is the summer break over yet?




Well, I had to find it I was beginning to question my own memory and here's what I found:
Quote:
"I'm quite unhappy with Elias today because I think he was quite dangerous - more than once he passed me on the inside and then altered his line. This is not a correct way to race," fumed Rossi.
I could be waaay off but does THAT sound familiar???

Rossi blames tyre, slams Elias. | MOTOGP News | Crash.Net

Rossi is heard uttering, "Oh facckkk, isa dis a jerka offa toucha me bika"??

So just out of curiousity who was the bitch this time?
Lemme guess, itsa 'ROSSI' so he gets a pass, right? LOL!
