Rossi's still got a lot to prove in bike racing if he wants to be regarded as the undisputed best ever. He hasn't even raced the Isle Of Man let alone won there and he hasn't won a World Superbike Title either. Riders moving from MOTO GP to WSB don't often do as well as many would expect. I recon Corser would give him a run for his money and Haga would carve him up the same as anyone else. If Edwards and Baylis were back in WSB as well Rossi would have a harder time than he's having now especially with no tyre advantage.

I want some of what you're smoking...

I agree, you seem to be suffering from some vivid hallucinations. He might not be my favorite personality, but he's god on a bike.

If he does end up driving for Ferrari I'd assume he'd be good but not great. Recent F1 success stories tend to show that a calm, analytical mind gets the most out of the car, with pure driving talent resulting in spurious wins rather than season-long form. Good luck to him either way.
