  I remember poor Sete getting slapped by someone who raced with non-standard equipment, he made everyone look like a bunch of idiots on Sundays when he put the right shoes on the bike...

  I remember that since he outclassed everyone in MotoGP, a factor that has a negative influence especially when this lasts over time, combined with theatrics at the end of the race and statements that can remain unpleasant, every attempt was made to discredit what Rossi won in the his career.
  All these accusations that are made against the organization of the world championship are a stumbling block, especially for those who are passionate about this sport in the sense that there would no longer be any reason to follow it given that everything would be piloted like a soap opera. Speaking of tires, not even Lucchinelli, who is quite critical, has ever said that they were made as some claimed for Rossi the day before, also because it would be practically impossible, but of tires that were developed based on indications but which all riders could have. I would like them to at least once delve deeper into this topic by truly saying how things are so as to clarify this thought forever, for better or for worse.

     In motorsport competitions of a certain level we say that except for a few payers they are generally all good and most of the difference has a technical explanation rather than the merit of the driver, I tell you that between a winning driver and a good one there are 3 tenths ….
     When you see someone who constantly ridicules everyone all season it means that something technically gives him more than those three tenths, the engine isn't and because to go one second more with the engine you would have to be so out of line that a bicycle mechanic would notice, let's go back to the tires….

        True, I had thought about it, to tell the truth not even Capirossi was doing too badly with that Ducati, on the contrary....
        But Stoner is the only one in the recent history of motorcycling who has demonstrated that a bike with obvious chassis deficiencies can win... I don't remember anyone else, so we can say he's a true champion.

        Your comment contradicts itself. You say that Rossi gave more than 3 tenths to his opponents and that therefore there was something underlying because generally a good rider manages to give 3 tenths to his opponent. And then the same thing can be said with your stoner idol since in Australia he gave 1 second to everyone...Stoner is a failure and had a super motorbike. Stoner's Ducati was going 30 km/h more than the Yamaha in the year in which Stoner won...then the Ducati was tampered with and Stoner is incompetent. Because following your rule, this is what can be deduced. Or does the rule only apply to Rossi??Because there is so much talk about rubber for Rossi etc..but do you remember how many punctured tires or how many broken engines Rossi got in the year in which he lost to Hayden? No.. but Rossi is always helped.

        If I were Rossi I would be really happy to read certain comments... because he dominated so much, and for so long that it made you think there was something irregular underneath ;)

     If it were as you say, can we say that all the champions in the history of the world championship have had these little helps, or did they only help him? But also in the days of the 250 and 125? No because he has always won in the same way.

        In 125 and 250 they won a lot but then in 500 or moto gp they didn't repeat so I wouldn't take it as a reference, Valentino is indisputable that for several years he had the best material in circulation and tires that made it difficult for him to ride easily and especially on Sundays, running consistently faster than anyone…..
        When it was time to renew the Moto GP game, the courtesies ran out and all his difficulties and inabilities on a difficult bike were seen and they were also seen again on the Yamaha.....

        You're talking about little games that lasted 15 years. Can't it be that after so many years at the top a driver is going to lose his performance? You see, this is exactly what I'm arguing about. It's true that Rossi has always had the best material except in 2004 and 2011 where he decided to change leaving the better bike, but the same is true for all the strong riders, just look at Lorenzo, Pedrosa, Marquez who even changed the rookie rule, then it applies to them too.

  Better one more sponsor than one less…
  Especially if Movistar will be the main sponsor (as it seems), given that a figure of this time has been missing for several years (since FIAT left).

  Good for Yamaha.
