P........hew or something

Firstly, we were not debating anything bud(FAIL on your part), you attempted to belittle me re-my post. You figured your post warranted a worthy response(FAIL again), i figured differently bud. So far you're winning by 2 FAILS to none. 

Can we stop this now please because i'm kinda certain that one of us is boring the fucking arse off the other.

"To me, it highlights Rossi's huge mental toughness in dealing with the dismal Ducati years. Scott Russell's account shows the enormous impact that riding on rubbish can have on even the very best riders. Sadly, Russell never recovered."

Remember that Rossi hasn't recovered yet... he's yet to put in a single fast lap on the bike... Stoner came back after 4 years on a bike no-one else could ride & won again but I think learnt a lot while he was there... after only 2 years with the same team Rossi says that "They say that if you get through a difficult spell you get stronger. We'll have to see. In my opinion, it hasn't taught me anything,"... can he pull himself back to winning ways like Stoner did?... we shall see.

Aye Rev...

... & we've heard him enthused & motivated before...

Rossi - "I’m happy because first impressions are important, and already in the first few laps, I could tell that I like the bike. Ducati did a good job in a just a short time. The bike is beautiful, but more importantly, it’s nice to ride."

... results count & will show his true mental toughness.

I mention Stoner because he was in a similar situation 2 years ago & actually achieved what many are hoping Rossi will do, proving it can be done... riding for Ducati isn't always a career wrecker & it can lead to future titles... there is hope.

Rev...

Both riders returning to a their former brand of Japanese bike after 2 years struggling on the Ducati is certainly a similar situation... we shall see if the similarity continues & Rossi takes a title straight away, but you may be right... perhaps that is a little too much to ask for a 9 times Italian champion.

Casey Who??

Hedgehog5, you show a lot of audacity putting the two names on the same page. Valentino is already a legend at 33. 9 times world champion, and something else he has that > moaner will never.....charisma. Now let's talk about a few facts that moaner fans haven't seemed to acknowledge yet. First off, he didn't develop the Desmocidici, that honour goes to Loris Capirossi. Moaner joined Ducati the season after Capirossi was denied a Championship by that other whinger, Gibernau. As time went on and Honda hadn't won anything, they were throwing everything they had at the new RV and lo and behold Lacey Moaner fell on his feet again. He got a bike which had been developed by Nicky Hayden and financially backed by the world's biggest and wealthiest Motorcycle company. Now he's retired. GOOD RIDDANCE. Never compare what that little Aus twerp has done to what Valentino has achieved.
