I loved Max as a Doohan and Rossi rival, but I wouldn't wish losing to Valentino on him again. I think his ego took enough of a battering between those two. I just miss him. He was more fun than Stoner, Stoner is so uptight and monotonous, such a hick. But Max had a bit of style about him, and I loved his excuses! They were funny in a way Stoner's aren't. Perhaps because Max was losing. Stoner comes up with excuses when he's winning, which is quite pathetic. So to be kind to Max, I think we should let the old dog stay in superbikes... he's earned it.
