for 100 race winner rossi

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (roger-m @ Jul 1 2009, 12:07 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>It makes me laugh when you judge people and events that happened before the best part of you dribbled down your mummas inner thighs

It amuses me when you try and talk with the (relatively) clever people on here. It makes me laugh that you think you would know more about something because you were older when it happened. My uncle was older than Rossi when Spencer was winning titles, who's opinion on the matter is more valuable to me? The clue is my Uncle has never watched bike racing.

The clue here is that you have an unusually tough case of youth arrogance.

And while you're on your soap box of arrogance, why don't you tell us some more about how Rossi is to old? You started on that in 2007 so I'm sure you can document to us how he by now hardly manages to remember his own name and stand up from his bed in the morning?

yes i remember that wisdom from tom. rossi is to old. old people dont have the drive to succeed bla bla bla. the following year he win's the title You have a way of putting ambiguity into you posts tom to cover your ........ but you fool no one. your not as clever as you think.

for me Rossi 125cc race assen 97 still sticks in my mind i had it on VHS but the tapes fooked.

he had a bad start was running something like 12th came through the field to lead it then messed with something on the bike (bike trouble) fell back to about 8th.then came through the field to win it on the last last where at one point hes was down in 5th.a true great race.

some Rossi stats

Some facts and figures relating to Valentino Rossi’s remarkable 100 career wins, since his first victory in the 125cc class in Brno in 1996

With his victory at the Alice TT Assen Valentino Rossi became only the second rider ever to reach the milestone of 100 Grand Prix victories, as motogp.com documented in Monday’s video tributes to the Fiat Yamaha star.

Today we offer a selection of statistics relating to Rossi’s colorful and triumphant march to a century of GP successes, which along the way have brought him eight World titles across the three Grand Prix classes:

• The 100 victories have come from 217 Grand Prix starts – a win rate over his career of 46.1%. Rossi has won on six different types of motorcycle: 125cc Aprilia (12 wins), 250cc Aprilia (14 wins), 500cc Honda (13 wins), 990cc Honda (20 wins), 990cc Yamaha (25 wins) and 800cc Yamaha (16 wins).

• His 41 wins riding for Yamaha is more than any other rider. The second most successful Yamaha rider is Phil Read with 39 victories.

• Rossi has won Grand Prix races at 27 different circuits. The circuits at which he has had most success are Mugello and Catalunya with nine wins at each.

• The most wins Rossi has had in a single season is 11, which he has achieved on four occasions: 1997 (125cc), 2001 (500cc), 2002 and 2005 in MotoGP.

• His 11 wins in 1997 is a record for most victories in a single season in the 125cc class.

• Rossi’s 74 race victories in the premier-class is more than any other rider in the 61-year history of Grand Prix racing.

• With his victory in Jerez this year Valentino Rossi became the first rider to achieve at least one Grand Prix victory for 14 successive seasons.

• The total length of his winning career from his first win in the 125cc race at the Czech GP in 1996 to his latest victory at Assen, is 12 years 313 days. Only four riders have had a longer winning career in Grand Prix racing: Loris Reggiani, Phil Read, Angel Nieto and Loris Capirossi.

Yup, Laguna would be a "hollywood" scenario to win it at, after the legendary 2008 Laguna Seca Stoner Moan.

well props to you bm, you had nothing really to say even tho history was made but at least you showed your face

Past his best but still kicking ....... what does that say about the guy? Really I don't see Rossi fading away and being uncompetitive even if he rides into his 40's. His mentality and approach to racing is like that of a child, which in his case is helping him alot as far as 'drive' goes. By no means is he running away from the competition this year so far, but he'll be there at the end, no doubt about that.

Btw Rossi wins about 7 races a year, throughout his Moto career so far. But that's still without the remaining races in the season yet to be added... so who knows how many races he just might win this year and up the numbers a bit.

That he used to be miles better than everyone. Now he is less comfortably better. Its incredible really

you can make that comparison with all the variables over the seasons, like 500, 990,800 ,all the different challenging riders wow. i suppose you can only get that from books ! if you look at lap times and i believe rossi set a new one in spain, you could argue he is better than he has ever been , but so is his competition like stoner & lorenzo. setting new lap records is not a sign of old age slowing you down.

No I'm pretty used to reading the signs now from you "rossiboppers" ie.

theres seems a real surge of Rossibopper sooking in several threads ATM, against Stoner as usual , so I can only assume that you guys are really worried about Stoner at Laguna again , rightfully so I guess . It makes me think you guys know something?? is Stoner going to be exceptionally hard to beat at Laguna again? What do you Rossifans know that makes you all feel that?

But meh ..... its more tantalising to me to just let unfold whatever happens on the day.

I rate the PI after the yellow flag race his best.

I thought particular congratulations were in order to rossi on such a dominant performance for his 100th win and said this on the assen race thread. We have left this thread to you guys to reminisce about your fellow countryman; what is vale anyway, scottish or english? .
