My feelings are mixed. I'm a Rossi fan of note but also respect anyone who earns a spot on the MotoGP grid. JL has out of this world talent and near perfect riding style but he has he personality of a wet cat. MM is young, wild and naturally gifted on 2 wheels. Rossi has proven himself (by winning championships) in all 3 GP classes, on 2-stroke and 4-stroke bikes. Before and after all the electronics. He also has the biggest fan base over decades of racing. Clearly loved my many and for long (so the real deal). Racing is racing, on one hand I say don't interfere with a championship you not contending but on the other hand I say get out front and nobody can interfere with you. I raced competitively at a National level for over a decade. Won, Lost, Been Cheated, Cheated Others. Emotions go off the charts. And this is at a local National level. The intensity at a World Championship level must just be insane!! As big a Rossi fan I am, I feel he over reacted on Sunday (by running MM so wide, I don't believe he kicked him though). He fell foul to the psychological games he normally masters. But hay, sitting on the couch making statements is easy!!
