I totally understand riftan, and I think people should give riftan a break. He DOES have every right to be disillusioned with Rossi if he feels like it - I think he's got the wrong end of the stick, myself, and I don't agree with what he's upset about, but he shouldn't be bashed as someone who isn't a true fan just because he's upset about something Rossi is doing. That he IS upset/angered/disillusioned indicates how much Rossi means to him, that VR has the power to move him and make him feel things deeply. Also, by expressing his opinion, it goes give us ever-loving ones the chance to say why we love VR, why we don't agree, why we support him. That's all good, because it means we don't just blindly follow VR., without thought or reason. Everyone has listed great things as to why a Ducati switch is justified, reasonable, and that VR isn't just a prima donna by bagging out Yamaha. We have good reasons why we are his fans and this way, we get to list them. (And don't get me wrong. I have no problem with people getting testy... that's not my point. I just take exception to riftan being told he's not a true fan just because he has a problem with something.)
It also raises the whole thing of a male fan versus a female fan. Us females, we do have the extra edge of wanting to shag VR, being sexually attracted to him. It possibly does make us more forgiving of everything, more broadminded, less harsh... love can do that!! The males... poor things... they don't have this extra dimension to being a Rossi fan.

I just hope the best thing for him.

If I don't care about him, why should I wrote on this forum late at night before I go to bed.

He is my favourite rider. The more he says something the more I know he has grown up and has that charisma. Very open minded rider.

For whatever I said here is for Vale... just in case he makes the mistake what I'm worried. I just want him to realise what really happens.

In most cases for every single thing in our life, people who experience or deal directly with the problem would not realise until somebody outside telling them. He is human who can make mistake. that's why I am here. Hope to give what I think the best for him. But doesn't mean I'm 100% right, maybe I'm wrong. But maybe I am right. I do said that...just in case it is what really happening.

I believe in Ying and Yang. Black and White. Sun and Moon. Praise and Critics. Everything has to be in balance to be harmony.

I just hope I can give the best thing for him.

I re-assure everyone in these forums. I will be on his side.....Always.

No worries Riftan, i too believe u are true fan of Vale. We all shall stand by him, good or bad times. Long live Vale !!!

I can't see what differance it make who Vale rides for at the end of the day, shouldn't we be grateful that he will be racing & we will get to watch or see him race, coz the time will come when we no longer have Vale in Moto GP, so let's just enjoy him while we can, & respect him with what he want's to do, he's not daft & i'm sure that whatever decession he makes will be for the best.

Thats a point Debs..
At least he'll be racing and we should be grateful that he'll still be racing...

Yes that's the spirt just keeping thinking this way

mmmm... i dont get it. of course we r grateful rossi still be racing coz we just love to see him on n off the track but he wont be content with still racing only. if he have to bear the 2nd, 3rd, 4th position, only because his fans love to see him race n forgive him for his lost, then imo its not fair.

i 100% object rossi go to ducati if ducati is still the reigning champ! if he really want to join ducati then he better win at yama, or go to any other factory n win it there, and only after that join the duc.
or may be honda beat the duc in 2008, then its okay for rossi to go to ducati.

we dont need to watch rossi on the same bike with casey to see who is the f***king better rider! rossi is certainly the better rider, n in fact marco will crush casey in 2008, so there...end of story.

i 100% wont mind if he go to rally or f1, coz he'll be the underdog there n i will support him 100% no matter what the pain result.

Mmm... For sure noone would like to see Vale loosing and still continuing to
race on the same crap bike and tyres! That`s why noone is against Vale`s
move to Ducati - we all understand and support him, you know!

I see no problem in this issue at all - we want to see Vale winning, don`t we?
Then, we must support him in anything he does for that victories, right?
And if he decides to move WHEREVER to win in that team, we`ll have to
accept that and keep on cheering for him... If we consider ourselves his true
fans...

I 100% agree with that.

I'm with ya....i didnt like him movin to Bridgestone either...
