Can Rossi save Moto-GP again?

#1 Unread post by High_Side »

There will be others who disagree, but I think that the past 4-5 years in Moto-GP have been some of the most exciting ever. With the implementation of the 4 strokes, I was a doubter as were most GP fans, but coupled with massive investment by all of the factories, there has been some really great racing. Just when things started to look as though the Rossi-Honda combination was going to turn in to a Doohan-Honda style snoozefest for the fans Rossi threw everyone a curve and fled to Yamaha. There were many who said he was crazy, but this reignited the interest and the class seemed to go wide open. While Rossi won his first race last year on the Yamaha, it didn't appear to be easy, but now in mid-'05 he is looking to be completely untouchable once again. So with his contract coming up once again, will he do what no other rider would ever think of? Will he jump to an underdog team and prove to any remaining doubters that he is truely the greatest motorcycle rider of all time. It could happen! How about a green bike with Michelin tires and the ultimate rider? Time will tell in the next few months....

I'm enjoying watching Rossi this season. When he gets pole and a bad start he has to work his way to the front and then he'll do the fastest lap on the last one.

He is an incredible rider.

They need to keep him on a 600cc when the whole group goes 800cc. Might be a challenge for him then. ;)

It's not such a bad idea.

I would think the Proton/KR bike was even more an underdog than the Kawasaki.
I believe in technology. I believe in DOHC, multi-valve cylinder heads, liquid-cooling, astronomical RPM, more than five gears, light weight, chain drive, and all at a reasonable price.

I believe in sportbikes.
