Well on the Rossi vs Biaggi. I think that Biaggi was Rossi's greatest threat until he left motogp. Rossi knew this but Rossi is shrewd and he knew how to get to Biaggi's achilles heel(EGo). Biaggi is not as strong mentally as Rossi and Rossi exploited it brillantly.
I love Rossi and I love Biaggi both for different reasons. But I kinda root of the underdog. Biaggi was the underdog to me.
(I also think that he brought a lot of unnecessary frustrations onto himself - Ala the Black flag incident)
Stoner has been the underdog to Pedrosa in the 250's and their first year of motogp. I've liked him from the start and I am extremely happy that he has put the checa-like crashing behind him.
I don't think that Pedrosa can handle the dog fights/race battles that Stoner-Rossi-Hopkins etc dish out and for me he will always be a Biaggi of Motogp. Good for 2nd or 3rd in the Championship but always fast.
I agree, Biaggi was never on the same level as Rossi, especially mentally, but Rossi was also better than him on track, overall he was just too good.
I hope Dani won't be another Max. I like Dani, and I think he can win the title in the future, hopefully I'm right. I'm definitely sure that Stoner will win the title, whether that is this year or another year.
