Fyi, four.

That's twice as many as Corser and four times as many as Toseland.

Max Biaggi is a great, great rider - just not as good as Rossi (which - obviously - no one is).

Spot on BC.

Personally I hope Max can get back to his best form, something he seem to lose in his last couple of GP years. Whatever anyone thinks of Max, he was in the top 3 of the worlds best riders for a decade, when things were right he was every bit as good as Doohan and Rossi but unfortunately not often enough.

Bring it on

Lets look at the facts, Barros gone, Biaggi gone.
Pedrosa in (miseable g*t), Stoner in(nice Aussie).
Have we lost more than we have gained?
I think we will loose a few more of the old guard over the next year and then the new blood will add to the championship, giving Moto gp another maybe 10 years of awesome racing.
So "WHATEVER" yourself bonny lad.

I thinkthere is a long list of riders not able to get on the podium let alone win a race. Shame because they make it hard for the new talent.
