It can't just be about Nicky can it? Rossi is a sympathy thief, an honor thief, a limelight thief. I had wondered how Rossi would make this awful tragedy about himself, I fully expected it. Rossi must highjack everything, even a "lap of honor" at his most dishonorable moments. Do you remember the tributes to Nicky Hayden at Valencia when he rode his last race in MotoGP? Of course not. It practically happened invisible and in silence. Do you remember Rossi's so called "lap of honor" that Dorna, who guards everything on youtube, was "kind enough" to let run for free? It's still up. Honor, that's insane. Tributes must be linked to Rossi for it to have some greater sick emotion, it's not enough that the greatest guy in the paddock died tragically, we must make even this about Rossi. There have been tributes on YouTube, Rossi’s friend RIP, images of Rossi...oh and Nicky. It was so predictably that Rossi would make this about himself and many swallow it whole. Did you forget Rossi is the guy who disparaged Nicky's championship and all his minions following suit? It's not hard to miss the theme, he's done it every ....... year poor Rossi has lost as opposed to win the championship. Name any rider that beat Rossi, that name has be vilified to a man. Nicky the fluke championship, who was responsible for this narrative? Prompting Nicky to put a defensive statement on his leathers, 'The Numbers Don't Lie'. Of all the people who've ever graced the GP paddock, Nicky Hayden needed a defense? How sick is that? Now in the most disgusting way, but so typical of Rossi, the guy who was the most responsible for causing a necessary defense of Nicky's championship is getting props for what exactly? Increasing his 46 brand so you can say oh how cool, I get it, that's so clever, 46 & 69, that's so sweet and heartwarming. Sarcasm.
Every time you see this plastered on the screen, think of this take on it: Rossi has stolen something here, and now this disgusting image of self-promotion will be immortalized in countless tributes, it's about Rossi, even Nicky's death is about Rossi! At Le Mans press conference, Nick Harris turned it over to Rossi to "speak for all of us", so "The Doctor" who called a 'doctor' reported Nicky's medical condition, the ....... absurdity! They will run this image and whatever else Rossi and Dorna have for tomorrow ad nauseam.
.... Rossi.
