So Tonto who ever you are ? Elwyn in his posting said that about Rossi we are witnessing a real a real special m/cycle racer and i replied that we are witnessing a rising star in ROADRACING,at no time did i compare Valentino Rossi with Guy Martin a brilliant rising star in road racing, so please read the postings before you get your Rossi knickers in a twist.Just think about m/cycle racers 30 years ago they raced the roads and mickey mouse man made circuits, i never have slagged off Rossi he's the best in the modern era by miles but i sometimes wonder how some of other GP riders would tackle the TT circuit?
