Cheers everyone! Yep, I've got faster and watched it about 5 times now! lol. Will watch many more times again and I am sure I'll still love it everytime. Cool vid that.
Cheers PoshTourer, that's exactly the sort of stuff I was after. I'll make a note of it.
I'd really appreciate it if you were able to have a look for them articales Sensie, cheers!
I'm gonna make a folder for Rossi and chuck all the info in there and I want to study it. So the more info the better, let me know if others have anything as well. Thanks in advance!
Rossi's like Schumacher. No REAL competition from the current crop of pilots, unless the vehicle is significantly better than the one Rossi and Schumacher are riding/driving.
I hope you're not blaming Valentino or Michael for this state of affairs?

Not at all. Both of them have built a team of people around them that can make any piece of hardware perform beyond expectation. That elevates them both to genius level.
However Eddie earns my eternal respect for giving a tyre industry executive a gushing head wound with a gnawed clean T-Bone after his first Daytona win. You wouldn't see those corporatised modern chappies doing that to modern day sponsors.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Based on performance to date, Valentino is just like Schumi and Kasparov - a clear dominator of his contemporaries. That gets him a place in the history books.
However, I'll refrain from any further commentary until after Sunday's race. If Vale wins, though, rest assured that general gushing will be pandemic, and no T-boned head wounds will be involved.

True; however Max Biaggi does his best at times to dis' his sponsors: " my Honda is shit......no wait, my Yamaha is shit.....no, no, that right, my Honda is shit.......no wait, it was Michelin they been shit all along......oh, hang on, no actually it that Erv fellow - he shit."
He's better than Schumacher in that he doesn't have a bag of ''dirty tricks'' to pull out when the going gets tough,that's why Max is there...if you can't beat them fair and square,push them off the track.
He also doesn't have a team mate who is 2nd in everything.

Seriously, though, his comments are fair enough... how can he be expected to snag championships while having to ride such shit? It's becoming obvious that if his sponsors could only find a tasteful colour scheme for his bike, he could be winning, so long as nobody forgets to polish his rear brake lever just *so* before each race, and his team manager doesn't look at him funny and upset his focus, of course.
Poor old Max. Hamstrung by the unfortunate circumstance of being on the track at the same time as Valentino...
If he doesn't do it this year under full factory Repsol colours I think he should retire and give his bike to Hayden Fitzgerald or some other deserving kiwi.

If you've got a copy like mine you'll be needing this then Sudeep.
It's the slick artwork.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
The Book you'll want to get is " Valentino Rossi - MotoGenius" by Mat Oxley, published by Haynes. I've got the second edition, it covers up right to where he announces he's leaving Honda for Yamaha, and his reasons, but before he'd actually ridden the Yamaha. Actually bought it off Trade Me along with a couple of Tamiya RCV211V kitset models.
