<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I've been waiting to see if Hayden can improve enough to be a rival to Rossi on a par with even Gibernau. I still would like to believe it could happen but as time goes by, it's looking less likely and it's hard to think that Rossi will let a win slip without a fight. I'm not getting down on Nicky, just being reallistic. It'll be a hard man that wins at Valencia.
I think I gotta agree. I mean, Hayden's a great rider, and hopefully he's just a slow starter. But I think Melandri and Pedrosa would make a more capable Rossi-beating HRC machine (Because that's all that matters anymore).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Actually that's what I meant....I don't like Biaggi because he's the consumate choke artist and a ...........he walks the walk, smoozin with celebrities, doin shaving adds...blah, blah, blah...but on the track he came up shorter than a barefoot Danny Devito....that's why his attitude bothered me....but you're right....Rossi is a clown, but I have a feeling he wouldn't be that way if he wasn't the best....I mean you don't really see him kissing cameras when he comes in 8th....(not that that happens very often)
True, there are parts of Biaggi that are just pox, but there are parts of him that I can admire, too. If you actually look into it, he's quite a complex man. A whinger and a prat, at times, but a very intresting personality too. A shrink could have a feild day with a guy like Biaggi. Write a 12 volume book about him.
