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.
