The M1 was still effectively uncompetitive in general terms, remembering there was always a mass of Honda's out there which even in Satellite team spec were better than the M1.
To go from a bike just capable of winning on a good day (or a bad day for Honda etc), to something that cleaned up (albeit with Rossi on board) was still a note worthy achievement.
Thanks not just to Rossi's talent, but also the poached Honda guys, Burgess et al.
Biaggi was on fire there for a while though, riding brilliantly and often a near match for Rossi.
