<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Jane, if it were just as simple as getting the most points.... "To be a real, deserving champion you gotta have more fans than Jesus, win more races than Ago, NOT be Nicky Hayden or Dani Pedrosa, show off when you win, and when you don't, and have silly haircuts. Anyone else is just a footnote in history."
No Nicky Hayden ehh? Some of my favorite times in sports are win the guys I dont like win championships. It makes me back my favorite riders or teams even more passionatly. Just like this year in World SBK. I dont hate Bayliss, but I am not a big fan because I hate it when a single rider dominates a series like he did at the beginning of the season. So I backed Haga even more than I have in the past.
Having said that, how can you not like Rossi? Unless you are an older gentleman and feel he is a bit too flashy. I personally like the guy and feel that he is a very deserving champion, but I wouldnt mind seeing someone else win a championship.
