Interesting yes, maybe Rossi's fans out there should start buying lotto with the number 10 in them.

Yeah, we;ve noticed that too. People here (the whole family for that matter) think that, apart from having problems during quali, he doesn't really "give it all" during the quali sessions... sort of "preserved and reserved til tomorrow" kind of thing. That's what we think. But it would have been a lot better if he qualifies nearer P1.
Because it`s Rossi, you wonder if its all part of his elaborate mind games. But compared to the sorts of things he`s done in the past, this is a very dangerous way of playing his games, especially considering his position in the championship. So I doubt it. I think it`s a combination of his stunning race pace, which is a sign of his skill, his crew who keep managing to come through against the odds, and some of that famous Rossi luck that looked like it was abandoning him at the start of the season.
And I agree with you writer, whether it`s him or the bike, somthing is not at 100% in the QP sessions

im at the point of thinking theres no way he wants rossi that is, to start from 4th 3rd row week in week out its just stupid and dangerous, hed happily start 2nd with 1st being one of those weekends, the bike which moves on race pace is a total mare in quali, when i saw him at donny he was pushhing the back end out violently which sat him up incase of highsiding, from now till the end of season the bike in quali aint gunna change that much, it will give him a another poll but not a sure bet..
Its going to need to change at least a bit. All these 3rd and 4th row starts aren`t good business, and he can`t keep this up. Hat`s off to him, great skill in his recent race performances, but no doubt the element of luck has come into it too. And he can`t rely on that. He needs to get back to the front rows or he`ll suffer the consequences eventually

Spot on. He barely escaped at Sachsenring.

Depsite the new chassis the Camal Yamahas have been struggling a bit since the start of the season and I doubt Rossi really wants to qualify so badly, but don't forget his wrist is still injured and I was surprised to see him ride so aggresively right from the start of the recent race compared to Donnington, but I guess the two week gap helped a lot.
