I have become less fond of Rossi this year, - perhaps his wonderful focus on that title has got in the way of his nice side, although I did wonder if his manipulation of the Biaggi situations wa just that; manipulation.

He is a racing genius of the highest order, but not so sure he would ever be the right man for the Ducati job: It has to be his way or no way, and it has to be with Jerry Burgess, - and Ducati Cors is just not set out like that.
