Rossi's 200 Grand Prix start

According to the MotoGP commentators he has never missed a start in his whole career!
Can this be? If so it's quite amazing. Sure, lots of people can trun up at work every day for 10 years without a sick leave but his job is not exactly main stream

Means he has never had a really serious fall, perhaps somewhat related to skill .

true, one of the worst other than the time he broke his hand was at dony when he knocked himself out, that was touch and go as to whether he would miss a start but as we all know he raced , cant remember the year 03 i think

I don't really remember either. Perhaps they cut him some slack; stoner missed a race in 2006 with concussion when I think he would have raced if it was up to him.
