    Ummm he didn't complain. I can't read that particular link at work but this has been extensively reported. A "little bird" from the GP paddock told the Italian press about this "incident". When asked, Rossi basically told them it had happened but there was no problem.

    Calling that a complaint is stretching things.

    Here's hoping the racing is good enough so that the press don't have to manufacture stories.

    Ah ok, yeah, fair enough. The Italian press is known for it's love of "emotional embellishment". Especially where it's countrymen are concerned!

    They've been using asymmetrical tyres at Daytona for years.
    Can't remember who made them though...

    Interesting what Rossi said about the current riders being boys not like the old 500 riders who were men!!
    I don't really think of Rossi being part of that group of riders Rainey, Gardner, Doohan, (which it comes across that he does, though who knows with the media eh?) I have only just recently started watching so wasn't watching them at the time

    I'm loving Lorenzo more all the time...

    In fact, Thursday's press conference looked like being a gentle affair until Mike Scott fired one last question at Jorge Loernzo. Rossi's 'pussies' quote was aimed at him, wasn't it?

    Looking nearly as stony as he did in his confrontation with Simoncelli at Estoril, Jorge snapped out "It must be a shame to be beaten by kids every race."
