I don't mind the bobbers here, I actually want more to join. It's always fascinating to me what little substance and logic they arrive with, plus I like to see them perform convoluted calisthenics to wedge their logic into their faith.
Take for example FTL, who I asked if Rossi was powerless against Marquez. That's like asking a cult members is their leader like god. Of course the answer is, my cult leader is all mighty and powerful. So then I asked him, if Rossi is so powerful, then why did he chose to toy with Marquez at Sepang. (You see, if Rossi’s wasn't powerless, then that means he exchanged passes with Marquez without really wanting to go clear, therefore VR did that on purpose.) It's like asking a religious fanatic, 'Can God make a rock so heavy He can't lift it?'
Once you believe in a fairytale logic, a small amount of rational logic exposes the lunatics.

His claim that the 990 was electronics free and harder to ride than the vicious 500 strokers stuns me. If ever there was proof a guy knows .... all about motorcycles, that is it.

Special treatment was what? Overnight tyres for works riders?
Cheating...Only thing I can recall is some of his crew were caught brushing his grid spot and he got moved down the grid..What cheating has he done?
Disrespectful to other riders? All riders are like this at times, normal behavior..
Deceptive...Feck me, he should be hanged, that's terrible, your so called shortlist...
I've changed my mind about you being experts, its the complete opposite.

Biaggi's crew were caught cleaning his grid spot with bleach and a brush.
Rossi's crew were caught laying down rubber in order to gain extra grip, by doing a burnout using a pit scooter.
Not such a history expert are you? [emoji1]
I'm sure you're aware that the circuit was rather slippery during practice and it was feared riders might suffer from wheelspin off the start on race day.
The two teams who chose to "Doctor" (see what I did there?) their grid slots did it in the dead of night because they knew it was against the rules and "cheating". Ironically Rossi was furious with Sete Gibernau's team for reporting him, talk about a shitbag, cheats and throws a hissy fit when he's caught out...

Makes you wonder why Trunkman hasn't come out with his third installment. Anybody know? Or is he waiting for VR to have another mental breakdown?

What has Rossi done other than to continue to race, and excel at it, for far longer than anyone else in the last 30 years?
Obviously he's in it because he loves it. Which is why in turn many people love Rossi - like me.
I still have a signed poster from him right after he won the 2004 MotoGP Championship. Marquez was all of 11 then. Rossi won his first world championship when Marquez was 4!
Haters keep on hating. I don't care.

Do you also have a signed poster of Hulk Hogan?
Rossi loves MotoGP only when he gets his way, which has been 99% of the time. You obviously haven't paid attention to how he acts when his preferential status is challenged. He threatened to quit MotoGP unless he got Bridgestones in 2007. The happy man had a frown. Sad sad sad. In 2008 he got the tires he wanted, his fast teammate did NOT, essentially eliminating by politics the competition, so he "won". Like those politicians who run for office unopposed. Yea, victory. Happy happy happy.
In 2010 Rossi was upset that he couldn't get that same exclusive preferential treatment that turned into hallow victory, the kind of shallow victories you admire, the kind won in the political climate of special status. He threatened again, this time he left Yamaha because how dare they give Lorenzo EQUAL status. Then he failed miserably for 2 years despite so many believing he could ride a Vespa and develop one into a world championship. Sad sad sad.
The man had a frown. He threatened to QUIT! But good for you Rossi has a special sport agent who just happened to be the League's CEO. The man brokered a deal to go back to Yamaha. Rossi just "loves it". Who wouldn't?
Then came along another kid and combine with Rossi's teammate made Rossi have a frown. Sad sad, and mad mad. Rossi even threatened to QUIT MotoGP, and not even show up to the final race. The man had a frown. But having that special sport agent came in handy, because then all the reporters were banned from making Rossi uncomfortable (not that they would). But that unfortunately didn’t stop Lorenzo from racing very fast and winning the championship. Rossi was sad, but mostly mad. The man had a frown. He even threw a pity party and refused to show up to the League's own trophy ceremony. Good thing Yamaha canceled theirs, because that saved him from pouting twice as much.
Because "he loves it"!
Moans, cries, threatens to quit, pouts, and frowns.

Which means that the 70% majority were taken for granted by organisers and many others
Well to put it plainly, what ever you think of him I say this, preferential status (if such exists) wasn't gained bases on a pretty smile.
hi to all!!!
if you look at the personalities you never find an angel especially today with all those cameras... its a very competitive sport many money involved they sure wont go after the race all together for a pint or two... im a rossi fun but he has his dark moments as well... the previous goat doohan always complaining about his michelins and when biaggi wrongly penalized at spain 98 but refuses to go to pits thus dsq and loses the championship doohan said '' i saw number 6 in front i didnt know who he is''. only the rookie who is ahead of you in champion standings 3 rounds to go with a semi factory bike mate''. before him some psycho americans hating each other. last year mm went mental. but all this is normal. and good. you see the truth which is very common really... thats why you look at passion, battle instinct, determination, great moments, recovery and not number of championships and smiles in front of a camera. maybe rossi is what he shows maybe not and he acts, maybe he is calm and cool but transforms during sunday i dont give a faq... this is for beginners especially anti rossi beginners who claim the truth of bad rossi. see the big picture its brutal racing not socializing!
