[QUOTE="El Toro, post: 1381658, member: 14779"] At age 38, Rossi is still incredibly competitive. He did lead quite a few laps at Phillip Island. And he did hold on to second against intense competition. Rossi is better at 38 than most are at 25. Still, he is 38. And his time for winning is mostly past. When Capirossi was 38, he was riding at the back of the pack scouting out the safety director job. Ducati broke Rossi. And the homologation, which is probably the author of the new excitement, has impacted him even further. You probably remember Jeremy Burgess and his 80/20 rule. 80% rider, 20% bike. I think this gets more and more accurate as homologation levels the field. Personally, as a fan of the engine, frame, and suspension technology rather than of the riders, I liked it better before the electronic wizardry homologation. Carmello ExpletiveDeleta doesnt.
