Time seems to have caught up with the old feller. It's getting to be a bit sad watching him. OK he's had a bad run, Yamaha have engine problems, he had COVID, he gets back and has a DNF.Originally Posted by Autech
None of that is down to him but it's really bad timing.
The there's this about Marquez. A statement like "his management are not denying it," is not quite the same as his manager confirming it.

Further tests have cleared Rossi to race. It is weird to see the old git so far down the world standings. Has he ever had a worse year than 2020?

Yeah he's fast enough, just not fast enough if you catch my drift. Even finishing in the top 10 in the MMM era is proof he's still got the speed, but the final few tenths... That takes being in your 20s without 100s of millions in the bank weighing you down

Don't even notice you on that stealth bike... So many noisy Hardlys around that a quiet bike is almost invisible.

That is the town center 'revival' where they take all year to reinstate the road and footpath they dug up - but only after the council has agreed to pay "unexpected extra costs". They took 3 months to reseal where ONE road joined the main road.

You would have to have Sylvain Guintouli in the mix. Seems to have done a fine job.My Coffee/Cigar stop, friendly people !

Rossi may go in a different direction, team manager rather than test rider.

Very true most of your posts are very well thought outYeah he's fast enough, just not fast enough if you catch my drift. Even finishing in the top 10 in the MMM era is proof he's still got the speed, but the final few tenths... That takes being in your 20s without 100s of millions in the bank weighing you down
My opinion on Rossi is
You come up slowly through the ranks why do you have to completely stop racing when you have lost those required final 10th's
Why cant you gracefully drift down. Nicky Hadden wasn't criticized when he did basically the same.
Fuck me there is a shit load of us enjoying racing and we will never even make the top 6 in the NZ scene.
I reckon leave Rossi alone he might do a season in Petronus and a couple on another brand as he bows out.
But as long as he is happy within himself lining up on the grid I'm going to give him ups not call for him to quit.
I personally don't have a favorite last couple seasons just really enjoying the racing TBH.
In saying that I think we will see a full SKY/VR46 team giving his academy riders a full opportunity to train and race every MotoGP class in the not to distant future.
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

I agree re Rossi, I just feel he now has more to offer the sport on the sidelines than on the grid. He definitely deserves his seat, the fact he finishes ahead of Vinales 90% of the time it seems is proof of that. Considering everytime he throws a leg over that bike he risks death or serious injury (red bull ring case and match point) I wonder if gracefully retiring is the right option?
I'm just looking to the future of the sport in general, Rossi has created something truely special with VR46, I wonder how many of the riders that have made it through that academy to dominate would have managed to without his coaching and management?
