I think that any knid of reference to Rossi in connection
with Manure fans is an insult to the great man.
Nor do I like the talk of stuffing Yanks.
This sport is above all that.
I say this as someone who has supported Arsenal for as long
as I have been going to the TT, 1967.
Goodness knows I hate Manure and their fans as much as the
next man!
BUT, one of the reasons that love the wonderful world of
Motorcycle Road racing so much is the camaraderie and largely
good sportsmanship.
Nicky Hayden is one of the best Americans for ages and I have
admired his gutsy style for ages. I am pleased to see him up
there.
As for Rossi, he is the greatest since Stanley Michael Bailey
Hailwood.
Even the great Mike the Bike would have admired him.
Rossi himself has been very respectful of Mike and his
reputation.
So, no more of this talk, please.
May the best man win, and I think he just might!!

I know one thing, I have got very emotional on several
Sundays this season and I think it will be the same this weekend.
What a wonderful sport and what heroes entertain us.
(and have done for so many years)

Formula One? Eat your heart out!!!
