Yes he is, haven't you seen his bum buddie uccio always in the pits give him a kiss before the race starts. I heard they stay in the same camper too

Also just saw that confirmed with Melandri at Ducati next year.

I undstood Rossi was gay, too.

But so what?

He is still an absolute motorcycling legend - I fail to see how him liking boys rather than girls is any big deal. Scuse the horrible imagery, but it's not like he's going around shoving his lifestyle down anyones throat.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!! ah well i'm not homophobic. But now Kawasaki is my Favourite!

Im a big Rossi fan, but noone has had a rookie season like this for a long time.
Stoner is definately going to be the next big thing! and its looking to be a foregone conclusion that he wins the championship this year

Are you talking about Casey stoner?This ain't his rookie season..He rode the LCR RCV211 last year..

I must say, he is having a wicked season and I think he's going to win the championship

Stoner is a fantastic rider, Mitchelin need to have a look at what Bridgestone are doing cos it has to be tyres Yamaha are top bikes, Edwards slipped right back at the end and Rossi couldnt push it anymore. They should all be made to ride the same tyres.

**CM2005** · 24th July 2007, 14:47

definitely, a bridgestone control tyre would surely cut costs too. But what would happen to the Dunlop Yamaha squad?

**pritch** · 24th July 2007, 18:00

Michelin had it pretty much their own way for most of the past few seasons. and Rossi (and the other Michelin riders) had the benefit of that.

Spare a thought for the guys on Dunlops.

Bridgestone have adapted to the new tyre rules better than Michelin and there must be some careers on the line by now at the latter. No summer holiday for them?

Casey Stoner is starting to look the complete package, but without that huge speed advantage he wouldn't see which way Rossi went.

You are dead right......the power advantage of the Ducati is significant and I am sure it helps Stoner to keep Rossi at bay but it shows how good a rider Rossi is when he also has dodgy tyres and in some races he has got past Stoner.

But good for Stoner regardless of any advantage...I seem to recall that his old man made financial sacrifices and took Stoner to the UK to get him to where he is now.

Rossi can make an average bike look good and Stoner makes a good bike look good...that is the difference.

Legend of the week/year must go to Melandri ... that was a scary crash,,,

anyone who can leap of a bike at well over 100 Km/h ( remember Speed kills ) Then get back on the bike short of 15 min later , Qualify AND end up on the podium

and then theres chas davis ...

Have to feel sorry for Rossi , the mans a trier ,,but its not comming together !

Uccio should be ok with that, I hear Val has a rather small lifestyle...

At Laguna the power advantage was said to be of no help whatsoever to Stoner.
