Anybody with eyes could see the reality of what happened to Rossi at the end of the 2015 season. Basically there were people (certain Spanish ones!) who didn't want him to win. It was all a bit unnecessary really.

Hmm let me think about that statement.............WRONG
The miserable clown faced :cens: realised his bullying mind games were not working threw his toys and spat his dummy then in a vain attempt to play hard done by tried to blame Jorge & Marc, got well and truly found out and then bitched about being rightfully punished, what a :cens::cens::cens::cens:

:chuckle: And neither Lorenzo or Marquez play mind games? Rrrrrright...... :eyepopping:
Everyone in the sport acknowledges what happened, but unfortunately some people are so blinded by all their Rossi hate that they can't see what's going on right in front of their eyes.
Rossi is no saint, never has been, but Marquez' behaviour on track was blatant cheating. Oddly though, **** never sticks to Marquez for some reason? Could it be that he's Spanish perhaps (and so is Dorna, so is Carmelo Ezpeleta...)?
Rossi is constantly reminded of his dubious moments, and look at the likes of Ianone, and Simoncelli even, both practically ostracized because of their riding styles, yet Saint Marc can seemingly do whatever the fook he wants with no comeback or accountability? How does that work?
Still, all that apart, MotoGP is in pretty good shape after last year, where the racing did the talking, mostly.

'Greatest of all time' or Gimp on a two-wheeler'?
Surely Ago for the first, not sure about the second.

WOW Season not even started yet and already the banter starts......
Gastly Overrated Average Twat
Haven't always felt that way, but ever since catalunya 2006 when he punched Max in the eye on the way to the podium, his talent, yes he has some is not bigger than the sport

Erm... Hailwood? Just saying...
No doubt Ago should be up there though, of course. For me though (and for many), given all his achievements, and the fact he's still winning races, Rossi is the current GOAT. It'll take one hell of a career to surpass his now.

Kato - I'm not going to argue with you about not liking Rossi, that's your perogative, however 'overrated' and 'average'? Behave.
In some ways though, rightly or wrongly, Rossi IS bigger than the sport. Name one other rider in the paddock who would have fans, or who would be known for anything at all outside of MotoGP... He's a worldwide superstar, and that's why they say every race is a home race for Rossi and they don't say it about anyone else.
When he does eventually retire, MotoGP will be a little bit less interesting on track and off it, that's for sure.

As far as I know there are only two riders with nine world titles, usually when a there is a tie the winner would be whoever achieved the wins in the fastest time, so by that logic Mike Hailwood wins
MH 9 titles in 76 wins
VR 9 titles in 112
But that does not take Ago into account 15 titles in 122 wins so surely he is N01 ??
I would add Jarno Saarinen, and King Kenny to the list and put them both above rossi, only my opinion
Who was the most talented? Impossible to know because they rode in different eras on different bikes, with different rivals and when different talents mattered, so we need to look much deeper to understand the achievements of the greats, their performances according to the motorcycles they had beneath them and the rivals they had beside them, because merely counting race wins and world championships is never enough.
One IMO legend whos name I won't even mention, over one weekend raced in 5 different categories in all 7 rounds of each capacity; a weekend consisting of 35 races. Not only did he compete in all these categories at different engine capacities, won 32 out of the 35 races. There were five National titles to be won that weekend, He won all five, greatness indeed.
So I think calling Rossi the greatest just because he is currently the media favourite is a little short sighted.

Yawn. .... Bored now. How about this gets back to a predictions 2017 thread as per bigredduke original post and the K.A.R.H (Kato Anti-Rossi Hijack) and / or G.O.A.T (s) discussion.. the latter which admittedly is quite interesting in it's own right - gets moved to thread all of its own?....just a friendly thought...

Yes! Kato's obsession with hating Rossi is dull at it's best...
How interesting was it that lovely Iannone got the second highest times in the aggregated laps?? I think it's looking more like Maverick/Iannone for top spot going forward.
And in the celebrity stakes lovely Iannone seems to be taking up many column inches in the Italian press with his relationship with the slightly unfortunately named Belen Rodriquez (which Iannone cannot pronounce with his speech impediment) a TV and modelling personality, in the realms of the Abbie Clancy type. Something Rossi has never really been afflicted with...
So I revise my 1 2 3
1. Lovely Iannone
2. Vinales
3. Marquez

His speech was fairly impeded the day that Casey pointed out to him that
his ambition clearly outweighed his talent
Definitely not hot, but his girlfriend is called Uccio

Rossi turned up with a girlfriend for about a year, but it wasn't the type of tabloid/gossip rag/Hello/OK fodder that Iannone's current relationship is.
