People are actually slagging our man rossi off hear and your thinking about your stomach

Its true that I am a Rossi fan-boy, its nothing to be ashamed of. If he doesn't win the race or score well or even finish it doesn't bother me one jot, I just like the racing and in Moto GP whoever wins the race or the championship deserves it.

I just like the racing.

Poke the Rossi fans.

Argue and get your facts wrong.

Play the victim.


On a positive not, I am looking forward to the qualifying tomorrow.

Its not right to compare Rossi to a drunken football player, this is a bit more fitting.

I don't have a particular favourite (not in this era anyway, they are all pussies compared to the 500 riders and early 990 era),

I might be mistaken but Rossi is the last 500cc and 990 World Champion still compeating on the grid.

Away from the circuit he is a great guy who does an awful lot to help both younger riders and the less advantaged in society. Its a shame he gets such a hard time, but I fully understand why.

Yep, I've known about that for a long time. He's a decent human being, like they all are.
