Alonso unimpressed with rossi

<


Yeah because nobody must speak their minds to say Rossi MAY not win in F1, honesty sucks, how he dares saying Rossi might not win the F1 championship. God ... oops, sorry I meant Rossi, will cometh upon planet F1 and everybody will surrender inmediatly and give him the champion's trophy (no races will be held because it's an insult to think Rossi may not win them).

You know Teo, your right. Credit where credit is due. If Rossi wants to keep winning, he should stay on two wheels. He might have put in a good performance or two on 4 wheels, but that's not good enough to be a champion.
That said, he'd still .... all over Biaggi, no matter what the sport. So I just think Rossi should stay where he is, and Biaggi should shut up and become a hermit so no one ever has to put up with him........... Yeah.... Go Bayliss, peace out.

notice how he mentions dani... is that who he thinks may challenge rossi then? or is he just saying his name cos he's another spaniard?
 
Alonso a great driver, F1 ace, really. But It's not like he's Michael Scott. He's hardly a GP expert. Who cares who he thinks Rossi's challengers will be this season?

I'm fine with him saying what he said about Rossi. He's the defending champ, he can say stuff like that. I just found it humorous when he said he could be just as competitive in bikes with a little practice (which was later spun as three years).
 
sumtimes i cant understand people, ooost ur ok with wot alonso says bout rossi but when foggy said words bout edwards u wasnt happy? just trying to understand...

I think I know where Ooost is coming from.
It's a one off for Alonso, and he's thinking in terms of his championship. Ferrarri did waste time with Rossi because he's not in F1 this year. Alonso's just doing the mind games by playing down Rossi's achivement.
Foggy, on the other hand, is a veteran whinger. And he's got no reason to put .... on Edwards. It's not like he needs a mental edge on him anymore. Foggy's a Superbike team manager, Edwards is a GP rider. Alonso is a defending F1 champion, Rossi is a potential threat. I think his comments can be justified as mind games.
 
Spot on Richo. Also, Alonso is the defending champ commenting on a possible new driver in his series. Foggy is a retired rider managing a team criticizing a rider who is riding in a series a step up from anything Foggy has ever done. His words mean nothing in the MotoGP arena just as Fernando Alonso's words mean nothing in the MotoGP arena. If Fogarty were criticizing a current WSB rider then his words would ne valid, just as Alonso's words are valid in commenting on Rossi's prowess in his recent F1 test.
 
But Foggy isnt as harsh on SBK riders, I think because they're not in GP. Despite his whinging, Foggy really is loyal to SBK. He really wants to see the series do well, which is one of the reasons why he bashes GP riders.
