Thank you MB. Hablas Espanol, pero en poco. Therefore I got some words but not enough to fully translate and as you said, some words are direct translations which isn't how native speakers interact. It's the same with with Welsh (my native language), I remember watching an episode of 'The Crown' where Prince Charles is speaking Welsh and with English subtitles underneath and I told my wife "that's not exactly what he said'. Welsh is an interesting language, heavy in constenants, fast spoken and often backwards. For example, "Red House" is "Ty Coch"...Ty (pronounced Tee) being House, and Coch being red. So in Welsh you effectively say "House red"
Yep, I remember Jumkie posting to the effect that Rossi said "No no no, Iannone and I are good, it's MARQUEZ who you need to go after"
I wholeheartedly agree.
I think I read somewhere that a psychologist studied Rossi during that press conference and commented that he had the appearance, mannerisms and body language of someone who was mentally drained and had not slept much since the PI race.
You know, I was thinking about this and MDub's response mentioning Adolf Hitler. I have some interests that include History, and part of that is discussions that come up about the Titanic and Adolf Hitler regularly. Does that mean they live rent free in my head? No, not at all, but they are monumantal moments in history. Rossi has undoubtedly changed the history of MotoGP much like the sinking of the Titanic or WW2 changed world history. He is part of the sport but like Keshav says, rarely is he brought up except in response to people like yourself and Nick Nac who DO bring him up.
I never read about that, but it;s interesting. As Melandri said "Valentino is your friend until you beat him"
Also, remember how he approached Dani after Aragon 2015 and asked why he raced him so hard?
He is another example of a great who stuck around for too long.
I felt that after reading his biography, that was in the late 2000's and I started cooling to him after that.
