I would have liked to see Hayden on a factory Honda battling at the front, but I'm not sure that would have been possible. Look at the 2007 season where Hayden was still on the Honda but had one of the worst, if not the worst title defense season in MotoGP history. Hayden was a good guy, but if I started to become less of a Hayden fan when he was on the Ducati. He'd finish a race in 4th place, which for him was amazing in all honesty. Then during the post-race press conferences he'd always say things about how disappointed he was because he needs to be on the podium. That seemed to be a sort of subtle advertisement of himself, constantly implying that he was capable of winning racing by saying he was unhappy with 4th. He should have said, "Hell yeah I'm happy to be in 4th! Have you seen my results in the last few years?"In reality, discussing who is the "best" and who is the "worst" is really relative. I think if there was a grid of 26 bikes with 13 factory Yamahas and 13 factory Hondas, it would make for a lot more interesting races than we see now.These last few weeks have been the strangest few weeks as a MotoGP fan than I can remember in many years....maybe ever. I don't personally hate Rossi, but I wouldn't call myself a fan either, mostly because the people who are fans have told me where I can stick it about 100 times in the last few weeks just for suggesting hew as capable of doing anything wrong, ever. There's been a big line drawn in the sand, and you're either "for Rossi" or "against him," and logic and reason have been thrown out the window. I don't mean to harp on an old subject or beat a dead horse or whatever, but I'm under the impression that this event and your opinion about it will effect future discussions in the next few seasons about any issue.
