Eugene, are you even listening to me?
You've got to hand it to the guy - outrageous talent.

Penalised in Qatar because the team allegedly cleaned his starting postion, then he wins the next race in Malaysia, gets broom on the celebration lap and starts sweeping the circuit! - total class.

They reckon Max Biagi is going to Repsol Honda next year....but they'll need to improve in other areas too. I'm no expert on the bikes so, in simplistic terms, Valentino is miles better than Biagi even on his best day, and that Yamaha ain't going to get any slower. It doesn't look good for the rest.

They can only hope that Rossi loses his way somehow. There's always talk about him doing other things so maybe some day he'll take up a new challenge. I hope not, he's a friggin' joy to watch. It's like watching Senna, no matter what the rest do, you just get the feeling that it's never going to be enough and he's going to trump them. And, in relative terms, he's much better than Senna IMO.
 
Respect.

I thought when he leaves Honda, he would find it difficult, cause I believe Honda's moto were better than any of their competitors. But hell, he still walks with the title with friggin' Yamaha.

Any ideas on who can be his competitor next season? Sete looks to be the closest, but I feel he's too inconsistent.
 
I reckon that the two Repsols will be given the full works with Biagi moving there, and Sete will be given the full works on the telefonica.

feck knows what development Rossi will give Yamaha though over the winter, they could end up having a bike to rival the big H. He he he!
