ROSSI is without doubt the most natrally talented rider ever !!!!
For all those who have started giving him a hard time just because he's not winning,
GIVE IT UP!
It boils down to this, Yamaha and Michelin got caught with their pants down, and were not expecting the sort of challenge Ducati and Bridgestone were prepared for and even Rossi can't be expeced ride round those sorts of problems, he is already riding the bike well past it's limits!
EVEN TAKING THIS INTO ACCOUNT, ON VASTLY INFERIOR MACHINARY, IN A CLASS OF THE BEST RIDERS IN THE WORLD, ROSSI IS STILL SECOND IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Where are all the other Yamaha riders???
Where are the other Michelin runners????
I Rest my case!
Yamaha need the "In the deep end" philosophy they had when Rossi first joined them, and give the man the machinery he deserves.
