<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'> His fighting with Biaggi and the mindgames he played with him.
His hyprocitical behaviour towards Gibernau. I mean, he was cheating in some race to have a faster start. Gibernau reported this to the motogp leaders and Rossi got a grid punishment. But the worst of all was that instead of saying he was guilty and to promise to never repeat such low behaviour, he got angry with Gibernau and started to insult him and mock him. He even wiped the floor in front of Sete when he won that race. This is the world the other way around. The cheater shouldn't get punished but the one reporting the cheating is the bad guy.
Some of his overtaking manouevers in the past, especially against Sete and Pedrosa.
He insulted Pedrosa of being a child and says he is fast because of his length.
He insulted Elias because of his overtaking. But first of all, in the same race, he overtook Hopkins in an ever worse way. Did you saw how he passed Hopkins ? It makes Elias pass look like a girl overtaking. I saw the move again this weekend and I really wonder how Rossi has the minor guts to blame Elias after he made a 10 times worse move IN THE SAME RACE. Secondly, he was superbly agressive last year against Pedrosa and when Pedrosa complained he said motogp was a men sports. But when Elias makes a hard pass to him, suddenly he is a nutscase ? Wasn't motogp for men ?
When he doesn't win a race, it is always because of the others having a bike advantage. It has always been like that with him. Now, it is Stoners turn. Why just not say that Stoner did a better job than him ? Why not say Elias passed him fair and square in Turkey ? It is not because he has 7 world titles, that he can never be beaten in a fair way. He even said that he thought he was invincible. Incredible.
Last year he tested in formula 1 a Ferrari and the only thing he did was breaking down formula 1. He was just saying formula 1 wasn't so hard and so on and so on. He was just showing no respect at all to all the people in F1 and had fights with Briatore and Alonso.
I can go on and on with this guy. The problem just is he is superbly arrogant, has no respect for his rivals, you turn into his enemy once you beat him, he has no respects for the whole formula 1, he is a big cheater and when he gets caught he blames everyone except himself, ... The sooner this guy gets out of motogp, the better. This guy doesn't even know the meaning of education.
And don't tell me to have respect for a guy who only respects himself. Yes, he smiles a lot to the camera. But what you see is his second face. His first face is revealed when he loses or when he is in serious competition with someone else.
And for those talking about Stoners bike advantage, I would suggest to read the following article:

Edwards: "I genuinely believe that
our bike is the best on the grid and I've never felt happier with it, but unfortunately the package as a whole isn't working for me at the moment and we need to understand why."
about the fights with Biaggi - didn't Biaggi also provoke him (rossi)? and the media made it all big. plus, biaggi did fight back. it's male testosterone. (sorry guys)
about the mind games - don't all these drivers play mind games to try to psych out the competitions. it's up to the other driver if he gets affected or not. it's the game, man.
about not reacting to Sete's complaint - again, psych out.
about overtaking maneuvers and complaining - i think you kinda contradicted yourself with the sete case and the perdrosa and elias case
about pedrosa the "kid" - why would anybody get insulted when you're called a child? "
about the "other's bikes having an advantage' - i've watched a lot of his interviews and he's admitted that sometimes his bike doesn't work as well as they'd hoped and that he hopes they can recover on the next race. hence that's when his favorite line comes out, "I push and i push da bike 'ard... (then shakes head a bit)"
about f1 - whadaya mean insult f1/ he enjoyed every minute of driving the Ferrari. plus if you've read his book, i think it's the other way around. he kinda insulted himself... and quote (while driving the f1 car and planning what to do at the curve) 'This car is faster than my brain!"
just a thought....
p.s
great ride by casey last weekend!!!
