I see Casey Stoner can't even keep it on the island on a Honda

I bet he'll blame Valentino for it as well

Valentino was flying around - It was good to see.

Rossi, 7th in 1st race and 5th in todays.

He's become a mid field runner. How funny is that.

Totally destroyed by, Lorenzo and Pedrosa and in more favourable conditions by another few riders.

Rossi, MotoGP2 next year.

Brimma, blaming Rossi would be terrible wouldn't it.

Stoners used to lying down with a Honda, did it enough times last time there...

I'm sure Rossi will have some complaint about his shoulder

Rossi? Shoulder?

Why is something wrong, haven't heard a mention of that at all.

Must admit I was shocked Rossi lost the front, I heard Uccio saying he was struggling with rear end grip these days.

Thought the thread might wake Lance up

Short memories of how shockingly bad the Yamaha was before Rossi went there

No brimma , I remember it well. Big difference is that the Ducati is a proven winner, just not by Rossi.

Seems Rossi thinks it's a torpedo and not a bike.

Dirty tactics and still mid pack.

Rossi is a has been, only thing Rossi fans (some) throw back, is what he's done in the past, which I wont even try to dispute.

The future however, is a Rossi free zone. He's past his best and is now being outclassed on a regular basis, by numerous riders.

Except the 'has been', which is an opinion, the rest is fact.

We'll see :p

what a load of garbage rossi was flying before he binned it...

would have won the race fo sho'!

There's no way Rossi will want to bow out as an also ran - the maestro will return

Big Jase, great response

Would? Classic word from a Rossi fan.

Save the ifs, maybes, buts for later in the year eh?

those that are against rossi are just in denial...

you can keep your stroppy stoners and personality less lorenzo's

Denial? Okay, I admit Rossi lost his title last season and has mid field results so far this year. You sussed me :(

Gonna be fun this season.

Rossi will spend the year geting his bike to do want he wants it to do...

Next year will be another story........

Len

They go from 800's to 1000's next year?

I reckon Honda or Yamaha are more likely to start a new era on the right foot.

you sound like my brother

were only in round 2!

Jason, is that you?

Jason, is that you?

yes??

I'll 2nd that. Unless their winning Stoner & Lorenzo throw all their toys out of their prams.

Rossi would finish 3rd, 4th or where ever and still say it was a good race.

He will come back. Nuff said.

How many years as he been doing this now??

How many others have come and gone??

Rossi finishes 5th and he's been written off.

There are 17 riders on the grid and he's still within touching distance of the current leaders.

And as for others on here moaning about "that shoulder injury", well grow up, I guarantee that if you or I had had that same injury we wouldn't be able to ride ever again.

And then we get on to his leg, but I'll leave it there for the moment.

Dom.

Titter titter, 5th again. Oh, and a distant 5th at that.

Not looking good is it?

I think it might be the Rossi faithful in denial here,

Cue, if, but, when, maybe, past results, development. As that's all that's left.

MotoGP is in a new era, without Rossi.

Oh, and try to remember, the bike Rossi is on is a proven winner.
