| At the end of the day Rossi winning the championship was in his own hands. He was on pole and he had an 8 point lead in the championship.
No-one made him fluff the start and no-one made him lose the front and bin it. From a guy who rarely makes mistakes he made two that were entirely his own fault and that's what ultimately cost him the title.
I reckon he's great, he's easily the best rider out there but you can't say that it was out of his hands.
Don't forget the crash at Assen and subsequent injuries were his fault too - just bad luck. That cost him dearly. |
