Calling straw man on me while perpetrating a straw man yourself?. Nice.
If Rossi has 9 then Márquez has 6, and if MM has 4 then Rossi has 7, in both cases MM has 1 more than Rossi at the same age of 25. My point was currency, not total titles won, but as even you seem to have picked up MM is 25, not 39, and has a fair shot at getting to 9/7 or better, which is rather the problem both for Rossi and his fans such as you.
As far as size and age are concerned, it is Rossi’s choice to be riding at his size and age, and other sports are and were open to him. There has never been a rule in gp bike racing history whereby riders receive extra points for being older or heavier. Very few would suggest he is not riding very well for a 39 year old in any case, and I am not among those who do.
The TV coverage properly focused on the leading riders for the second half of the race. MM is not down the field enough to draw firm conclusions about how much the TV coverage focuses on him when he is down there, but there is a large sample size in regard to Rossi in the same situation and he is often followed and discussed more than riders ahead of him in that circumstance. MM’s attempted save was spectacular as is his wont where saves are concerned, and he also has quite some history of gaining places by spectacular riding when he finds himself down the field.
Whatever you think of this forum in general, and like Rossi in MotoGP it is your choice to participate, your posts have been almost exclusively attacks on MM, by any standard a great rider himself, so you are in no moral or logical position to complain about attitudes to Rossi imo.
