Im thinkin of buying GP vid from '96 or something, when Rossi was on 125's and 250's.

Which is the best year to get? obviously one where he won it, but which was the closest battle that he had for the title? i want some frantic battles!

Moved this to general GP Chat as I really see this more GP topic related than lounge related.

And because I can

(Just testing really)


I would say 125 as they seem to have the closer racing but IMHO I would aim to get both Ron.

Just to make sure you're clear 1997 was his 125 title and 1999 was his 250 title just so that you know. Sorry if I'm a little overkill here.

Its cool Ooost. When he won in '97 do you know if he had to work for it? was it an entertaining year?

I really have no idea, I didn't follow Rossi's career very closesly until he made the move to 500s. Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

in 1997 in the 125 class rossi had 11 wins so not to sure if he got pushed but 11 good , moved to 250 class and had 5 wins and finished runner up to little loris, oj was in that class that year too.. the 125 class is always argy bargy

from wot i saw 98 was sum close racing but dont buy it on my say so

hope this helps a tad.
