I was moved by your plaintive plea that a 3 line post was too long for you to read.
Sorry, btw, plaintive has 8 letters, I limited myself to a 7 letter word in the previous post.
Yes, as I have said previously, you are a legend in your own mind.
All the sub kindergarten level jibes in the world are not going to make Rossi or Yamaha any faster, btw

So I can’t resist replying to someone who can’t resist replying to any and all posters on this forum, although not with anything as substantive as an argument in regard to GP bike racing for quite some time, current events not going so well for your side of things, and pretty much everything you have claimed about current Rossi and Yamaha and most other aspects of current gp bike racing in the last 18 months having been disproved by real world occurrences.
I am beginning to find this unsporting, akin to clubbing a baby harp seal, although you are a rather rabid example of the breed.

I've always felt bitter about Rossi anytime he's had "problems" with other riders as I thought he was often starting them and/or increasing them, but I nowadays genuinely feel sorry for the guy.
I was surprised to see even on TV how much he hates Marc. He can't even look at his face. This is more than a strong rivalry, Rossi seems obsessed with him (in a negative way, of course).
The Rossi-Marquez rivalry could have been a great page of the sport. The former king and the new one battling during the last years of racing of the former...does Valentino really wants to be rememberd as the guy that spent his last years of racing behaving like this?
Does he think this behaviour will get him anywhere?
It sure takes 2 to have a fight but damn Rossi took this one FAR.
It is such a shame and I agree with you. Particularly about the last years of his racing and how he wants to be remembered.
I also can't help feeling how it must have felt for Marquez at THAT press conference. They do say you should never meet your idol...
I actually agree. He was an all time great rider, and is still very good, but I can't remember any of the previous greats being as bitter in regard to a successor as he appears to be at the moment, at the end of their careers or afterwards. The likes of Ago and Doohan acknowledged Valentino's quality.
I fear living in a bubble informed by the likes of Uccio is not very conducive to a balanced view of things.
Indeed. I don't remember Doohan being complimentary about many other people either.

I think that is because the next "GOAT" actually showed up during his active time during which he thought he would win at least on more and be the "GOAT" at least for a few years (10) Instead his 'rival' is here winning 5 in six years and with a chance of surpassing his 9 while he is still active. That is what pisses 46 off.

Apparently, so is the life expectancy of AIDS patients.
Too bad your sister checked out early.
