Comments on: No Formula 1 for Valentino Rossi http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2006/05/24/no-formula-1-for-valentino-rossi/ Motorcycle News for Positive People Thu, 24 May 2012 15:55:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: hoyt http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2006/05/24/no-formula-1-for-valentino-rossi/#comment-11685 hoyt Thu, 25 May 2006 17:44:04 +0000 http://thekneeslider.com/?p=1037#comment-11685 This is good news. Rossi has still shown some dominance in many of the races, even the ones where he fell. Combine that with the increased talent across many riders and it is anyone's race. How many riders can show up now and have as good a chance to win as anyone? 6, 7? Plus, the lead pack changes the top positions sometimes each lap during the race. What other racing has seen that type of action? I'd love to see him on a Ducati. Now that they will be racing 800cc, maybe even a Drysdale? Crazy, but could you imagine in this day and age ending his career on a privateer-like bike on the podium? This is good news.

Not that he can't change his mind at the last minute, but he has been consistant in his stance. I would like to see him stay with MotoGP for a while longer. He is incredibly talented and there are some riders that are stepping up to the plate that can make him work for a win. It makes for better racing when there is competition :) In everything that I have read about Rossi and F-1…he has always maintained that he wasn’t leaving MotoGP yet.
