Once in a generation?

Excellent idea- hope you don't mind if I copy you. I might jump around in my Rossi rep helmet, too!

Feel free I'd like a Rossi replica hat too, but I'd be in danger of killing myself trying to look like I should be wearing it...

And in answer to an earlier comment:
Comparing champions from different eras isn't really valid. It is true that for part of his career Ago had the only MV4 against privateer single cylinder bikes over which the MV had a 25% power advantage, and he often won by minutes rather than seconds. On occasions he lapped the whole field. The tracks, however, were much more dangerous then, racing through towns or forests was commonplace. Runoff? What runoff?

Then there was no Clinica Mobile or Dr Costa in those days either...

in my own lunchtime i've flicked rossi's kill switch as i wheelspun past him and wheelied across the finish line to the cheers of adoring crowds.........................................and then i wake up as a cockroah scuttles across my hairy chest past the breadcrumbs and spilt booze...............

I'm with Pritch008 you can't really compare different era's. But for sure in this one, Rossi is a God!!

Well, that didn't take very long at all did it?

A difficult event to tape, I allowed four hours in case of delays but at that point the bikes were on the warm up lap so I bunged another tape in. I sort of watched the race as I got ready for work.

Now to sort out a time to watch the events unfold and sample Reims most famous product

Which factory backed team - MV Agusta or Yamaha? And remember that in 1970 2nd place on a privately developed machine was Ginger Molloy - how many Kiwi's have got that close to Rossi with no factory backing?.But certainly Rossi is the rider most worthy to surpase the great Agostini.
