Meanwhile,
Stoners off on holiday, knowing that Rossi'll fall off when he realises he's not going to podium the first race of the season, and blame his injury for his laclustre performance for the rest of the season...

right, just going off the times on gpone.com Still a long way behind Rossi.

I see a lot of criticism of Rossi's decision to swap tyre brands, but it's starting to look like the correct decision.

[Rawwr]

I don't think anyone was criticising the decision, per se, I think it was criticism of the perceived way he sulked about it.

The difficulty is differentiating between the actual way he went about with the way it was (and continues to be) portrayed which renders the whole interpretation a bit meaningless imo.

Go on Rossi, I know most of them have got to lower there standards due to traction control, but hopefully the real riders can adapt to it....
