| Doohan, Rossi or Gardner! Gardner was Jeremy's first world title. I think there is a lot to be said for how many world titles he has been behind. Obviously he has also had the best rider (although with Gardner that could be debatable) so I think we'll never know the real story of how much influence either has been.
We've seen both Doohan and Rossi ride around deficiencies in the bike. And both of them pull a little extra out of the bag at a certain time. Rossi has certainly picked up a bit of Mick's mental domination of his rivals but he doesn't do it as well as Mick did (IMO) |
