Joan is mentally stronger and more consistent, but relatively speaking, Mav has the numbers. He has twice as many career wins, and, [cherrypick] Vinales has 10 times as many wins in the premier class.[/cherrypick].
Meh. Marquez is talented, perhaps the fastest ever, but Marquez politicking his way into the best team is much different from Rossi leaving the best team and building a dynasty at a manufacturer that hadn't won in a decade.
Rossi the man is lame, but his resume is still the best. Marc will need to win an 850cc title with KTM or Aprilia to achieve something comparable, imo. HRC are so terrible these days, an 850cc title with Honda might count
It wasn't an opinion. It was a worry. And I'm happy it was wrong.
I somewhat agree, but Rossi never had as serious an injury as Marquez. That to me makes his redemption story better. Not to mention Marquez won titles in a closer and harder era with control tyres and ECU etc (not that it's Rossis fault what era he raced in)Meh.

You are forgetting David Alonso.... I think he will be ready for MotoGP by 2027
I doubt this is going to happen.
And MM still lives rent free in the head of Valentino Rossi and his fans 9 years on from 2015 and several years on from his retirement, and would seem likely to continue doing so.
Rossi maybe (or i should say is a) paranoid ......... But, what he was able to achieve in 500, 990, 800 and 1000cc bikes is still very good. I agree that Casey & Marc are exceptional talents but Rossi is a better racer. Just my 2 cents.
Head to head against Lorenzo he aint and this "better racer" seemed to run others off track on occasion. Yes he was a very good rider. Head to head against Marquez he was past his best, but he is nowhere.
He might end up like FreddieThe rookie season triumph does put Marc in rarefied air. Maybe he should try to win the Moto2 and MotoGP title in the same year?
and it is a more packed season now.

We will see whether MM can win more titles, but my memory of events is that he got to a Ducati factory seat by giving up the most lucrative contract in the sport, going to the lowliest Ducati satellite team, and performing sufficiently well there on a 1 year old bike to scare Ducati into thinking he might beat them riding for another manufacturer. And sure Rossi left mighty Honda, but not without major upgrading of their bike by Yamaha in prospect and the reputed possible involvement of Dorna.Meh.

Same Gigi also says Pecco is one of the greatest driver, but we do conveniently ignore that. We just pick what we want
