Is Rossi a shoo-in for next season?

I think Rossi may have an ugly demise, but it won't be because he can't ride anymore.

Rossi can ride, but other factors may cause him to fail.

I'm sure either of those statements can be read/understood.


As I say, if Yamaha still sucks he should find a new toy.
I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I'm saying

The current crop of riders are not better than the past... imo its not very good right now.
Thats technically how it has and should be... but i accept that technology, tyres and the team play a bigger role now but is it too big for the good of the sport?


The ideal would be if they could find a balance between todays technology and yesterdays throttle control.
Just like it was last year. (reminder to self, tomorrow that would be two years ago)

yea but thats not gonna happen via the manufacturers alone because they just want to be the fastest and they don't care how much rider input that requires just as long as they win.

dorna viewed safety a bit too much and neglected the technical advancements of the sport these past couple years and now it might be too late to change things.
