Hey All, I'm Braddles, just found this forum, thought I'd stick my head in for a chat!

I've been a fan of Grand Prix motorcycle racing since 1985 when Wayne Gardner was starting to grab the motorcycling world's attention.
Unlike most people, Valentino Rossi is not my favorite rider, nor do I think he is the greatest of all time. I think Mick Doohan, Eddie Lawson & Wayne Rainey were all better than Rossi.
There are a number of reasons why, but most of all they thrived on pressure, whereas Rossi doesnt deal well with pressure at all! He makes more mistakes & lacks the race craft of those guys.
Michael Doohan is the greatest rider of them all!

Just one mans opinion, this should be fun!...


Hey buddy, i can't wait to chat (argue) more about the idea of Rainey being Better than Rossi ! Enjoy....................

Welcome welcome, just a quick question.

You're favouring Doohan over Rossi, yes?

Well you should know Rossi has 2 more world titles than Doohan, but as it's your first day, I'll let you off.

Exactly Burky,spot on,there will never be another Doohan that could drift/slide a 500 like he did (with style)

Doohan had to compete with Criville, Okada, Aoki, Cadalora, Daryl Beattie...

Rossi: Biaggi and Gibernau...

Point proven
