I've always feel that having a competition in any kind of sport is healthy. I'm glad Loris will be joining the race in Assen. Hoping Marco would recover in time to race as well. The race just wouldn't seem complete without them. I guess Rossi must have felt the same way too. He always like to be challenged. Do you all notice how many times of power sliding Rossi had to do towards the end of the race just to keep himself and the spectators entertained? He must have been thinking, " Where are my rivals? I need them to keep this sport alive!!"
