Valentino Rossi shines on factory Yamaha return

Valentino Rossi made a brilliant return to Yamaha’s factory MotoGP squad in Malaysia today, the nine-times world champion ending the first day of 2013 pre-season testing with the fourth quickest time. Rossi showed a disastrous two-year spell with Ducati has not blunted his confidence or skills and the 33-year-old topped the timesheets for a period in the early part of the...

Nostro's Aliens..

 

I like Rossi as you well know - intelligent, witty, passionate about what he does, Oh and he has been known to ride a bike rather splendidly too - but to be fair to Nostril, on this occassion, he did qualify him not being an Alien at present by stating..over the last couple of years.

As I said earlier, Rossi has won nothing of late and will need to rectify this situation before he can be re-admitted a very exclusive club. That Marquez is an Alien in waiting is of lttle doubt, but he's not won yet. Dovi won a wet race in 2009 but cannot be considered thus because of the circumstances of that race and his failure to win anything since.

Right now, there are only TWO Aliens, with potentially two in waiting.

I'll say it again ....

Will all you Rossi sycophants please desist from including your IQ scores in your tags.  It kind of gets you off on a bad foot, which is something you really don't need.  I do wonder where the decimal point goes in Saturn's moniker though.  Answers on a postcard etc., etc.

Let's look at this calmly for a minute.  Rossi is in 4th place which is good compared to the last 2 years, but he is the last of the full factory Yamondas which is bad.  Rossi is less than half a second off "pole" which is a good effort on his return, but Marky-Marc is doing even better on his MotoGP debut which takes the shine off things a little.

In summary - definitely a Pass mark for Rossi, but "shines" is maybe too strong.  Early days yet so everyone should chill.

FRR.

Wosi, you mention Scotland and Ireland as divisions of country groupings, but can they be classed as independent countries - are they not just hanger's on? I do include Wales in that suggestion of course?....

back step nostro

"For the umpteenth time, stoner has never been my preferred rider"...wow that is some impressive backstep mate. All you have done in the past few years has been to give typewritten blowjobs to stoner while trying to convince yourself and any who would listen that not only was rossi finished but he was only average to begin with. Unlikeyou though my soft liddle kiwi, we can forgive you and move on by concentrating on the racing. First though you need to man-up and admit you are/were wrong about rossi being finished and the ducati being a good bike. If you do, you will be treated on the merits of your future posts...if you dont you will be abused..all year long. You have given everyone infinite ammo to work with and it would be real easy. The choice is yours bud...

Vote

I vote to humiliate him and send him to make fake prophecies in a V8 forum. Then we can kill him and feed him to the dogs... or the trouts down under... then Stoner will eat him and shit him back...

CHR..

I'll go with whatever people want, after debate of course, but yes I think they can be classed independant, as the Six Nations Rugby at the moment proves. People are proud of their colours and it adds to the spice.

I don't think that because they are not represented in GP, for example, that should exclude them..if that's what you mean?

After all..FRR has two other categories that make up potentially more points each than the Blue Riband class.

I know good lads and lasses from all corners of the UK, and have worked away in Scotland and Wales and been made to feel very at home.

There are always good and bad mind. Old wosi has had to put his dukes up on several occasions when bigoted tossers have played the we hate England card..which can be a generational thing IMO, ingrained from birth without particular thought.

N'owt wrong with a bit of do though, it's all some want on occasion, especially if you've got the local women draped all over you.

Mmmm :tongue::tongue::tongue: Hahaha..

Well, he seems happy enough...

does old man Rossi, and he improved from yesterday. Another eh, prediction, blown out of the water.

“I am happy because I improved today. This is a great feeling!” smiled Rossi, who often struggled to make successive gains during two tough seasons at Ducati.

“I improved half a second with the new tyre and now the lap time starts to be quite interesting.

“More importantly I improved my rhythm by more than half a second. Today I was able to run constantly in the low 2m 1s. This is so important.

“There remains a small regret because I wanted to do a 2m 0s but unfortunately before the rain I did a mistake in the hairpin. If not, I could stay more or less with the lap time of Marquez.

You had me going there..
