qUOTED FROM TODAY'S mcn -

"After kissing Snow White, Rossi then donned a special No7 T-shirt identical in style to the race number made famous in GP's by one of Rossi's big heroes - British star Barry Sheene"

Funny, I always thought Bazza use the continental number 7 with the crossed through stem. Rossi's T-shirt is quite definately not one of those!

More wishful thinking from the weekly rag! Ah well.

I must admit I thought the very same thing when I read it too.

It is nice at least that Rossi or his crew tried to pay homage to one of his hero's.

Like Col said, 7 championships with each of the dwarves - ooops sorry, vertically challenged - showing the years he won? is that right?

Sheene used a standard number 7 as well, usually his leathers had a normal 7 but his bike ran a continental 7, early in his career both were normal 7's.

Fair comment, however ALL of Rossi's previous tributes carried the continental 7. Check it out!

Watching the TV coverage on Sunday - mamola mentioned the sheene link to Rossi and it was obvious that Rossi had not considered that HIS 7 world championship wins was linked to Barry's race number and appeared surprised when randy mentioned the subject.
