I must admit, 2006 showed a side of the doctor no-one's really seen before: The loser. I know that sounds really offensive, but I didn't mean it like that. Rossi has shown what he's like when he's not winning, and he didn't have a dummy spit, he didn't whinge, he took it like a man. I remember sometime during the season, when Rossi was looking like a beat man for the first time in his career, Skid said "We'll see if he's as tough as Doohan now" Well, even though he's not champion, I belived he's really proved himself and gained some respect, from where I stand anyway.
