Is Valentino the best ever????? Can't compare era's like you said, but he's certainly the best of the last decade obviously......
The main reason for the post here is to put this thought out there:
Could the reason for all the to and fro between the Rossi fans and the rest be this:
That it's been hard for Rossi fans to accept that he has indeed been beaten the last 2 years (i was filthy in '06 when Hayden pipped him at the post) because he is the first dominant champion to continue riding, and be beaten after a prolonged period of dominance...... and not have to retire due to injury?
Doohan retired 3 races into '99, and Rainey retired obviously due to the injuries suffered at Misano in '93.......... this is the first time in 14 years that we've actually seen an all time great beaten on track, not by injuries....
thats the overriding thought i'm having..... that it's a bitter pill to swallow. I myself as a ardent Rossi fan can accept that he now is entering into the last years of his career........ i think he can grab another title, but it would need to be in '08 or '09. If he does reclaim the title next year, i think we'll see him walk away.
If he can't win another in the next 2 years....... he's done, and we may see a sad descent into the midfield for Valentino....
