That's good. There's thousands of photos of Rossi not winning races on the Internet too, just google "Rossi Ducati"

He'd been ill a few years before he retired and was treated with contempt with that, he was the first to take it to Rossi and beat him outright, he was the bad guy that everyone loved to hate and he wasn't the most outgoing of people. All of this possibly got too much for him, alongside his distaste for CRT, as there really were few credible bikes on the grid at the time.

He probably just thought fk it, I'm off.

And why would you not. Tidy wife, enough money to life comfortably. Couldhave invested in grass roots racing back in Oz or something.....
