And fights dirty too
Remember how he tried to push Aoyama in 2009 into the pit walls (I think that was in sepang)

@sheel: what's the bet

I had that in mind..., also some race where he pushed bautista off the track in rain while fighting for 1st position...ran wide himself...3rd place guy took the lead for a while...

and one very Interesting article..

Colin believes that Rossi isn't sandbagging....Last lines...Classic colin...

Colin Edwards: Rossi not holding back - | Motorcycle Sport | MotoGP News | MotoGP Results | MCN

Yes, seems to be very true for the moment but never write him off

Did you guys notice one thing, noone has still "mocked" Rossi for the change this time as compared to 2003 when he signed for Yamaha. He was provoked by comments from gibernau and few others that he would be spilled all over the track by riding the under performing Yamaha then. It would be nice if he is provoked again and this time by the world champ , what say guys?

^^ That time the Yamaha really sucked (there used to be 20 second gap between the leaders and yamaha riders) but this time Ducati is already a winning bike though a one man show. Everybody understands that if Rossi can master this bike he can be devastating which is why not many fingers pointing at him for making the switch. At least not until the season starts...


Started cashing in their stardom

GP Replicas added to the Ducati Monster Art - Motorcycle news: New bikes - Visordown


Classic man! This man is attitude head to tow

question mark in the top center of the helmet, above the visor was added to signify that it was a new start for Rossi and nobody, including himself, would know how he would get on with the Ducati or what the coming season would hold.

The helmet design that Rossi wore was a shocking looking black and yellow variation on the ‘sun and moon’ theme. The right side of the helmet was dominated by a fluorescent yellow sun, while the left side featured a fluorescent yellow moon. The number ’46′ was position at the rear of the helmet.

sorry dint see a 125 gp thread hence posting in here.
