7 times a world champion and only 26 years old - is Rossi the best ever
 

World Championship Wins 7
1997 125cc
1999 250cc
2001 500cc
2002 MotoGP
2003 MotoGP
2004 MotoGP
2005 MotoGP

I know this may have been done bofore, but, now that 2005 has been sorted (as if it was in any doubt)

Just wondered what the views are now

Best ever but not the best today haha :cool:

Be interesting to see the BBC votes coming in.
For nostalgia and irony (killed in a Rover and not on a bike) I think Mike the Bike.
For keeping going and winning with less appendages than others - Doohan
Rossi is good - but is he THAT good?

yep.

I stood in the heaviest rain and wind at Donington for the Moto GP this year.
I think I saw something a bit special that day
:cool:

...but I wasn't there!! :lol:

...and 1998 & 2000 he was runner up. (almost won the 500 title in 2000 too)

Rossi has won 51 of 93 races since he moved up from 250cc in 2000.

I think it was mentioned at the end of todays race that Rossi has had 113 podiums out of 153 starts - That's incredible!!



:lol:

Glad to see you made it that day Number 04 :lol:

I voted yes but how can you compair Doohan,Rainey,Gardner,Hailwood,etc the were all of a different age. Not to mention the types of bikes etc. They were all bloody great in their own time.


Rossi is a modern day riding God he makes fun of the sport without him It might be like F1 :o

Lets hope he does not retire from Motogp next year as it won't be the same without him.

What age do you have to be then? :lol:

Oh, I'm on fire tonight :sing:
