Biaggi, Gibernau, Stoner, Lorenzo (fixable, but in a current state of brokeness). 

"For sure Lorenzo was a bit too anxious to beat me," Rossi told Gazzetta dello Sport. "I mean a lot to the other riders, I've been at the top for a long time and beating me would mean taking the number one crown off my head.

"When I ride I have a clear vision of what's happening, that's always been one of my strengths. With my form, and Yamaha's form at the moment, it's difficult to be quicker than me. At best you can be as quick as me."

Rossi called and he wanted his butt back  Grin


I think he only really broke Biaggi.  I think Gibernau is a natural make the beast with two backs up.  Stoner and Lorenzo it's too soon to tell.  So far they keep coming back, competing hard, and beating him in some rounds.  He hasn't broken them, he's just an amazing rider.

I agree Stoner and Lorenzo aren't broken.  Lorenzo has the raw talent of Rossi, but lacks the decision making skills.  That may or may not come.  He might always be on the edge and dump it 3-5 times a year, or maybe he'll analyze this season and win a handful of championships.

IMO, Rossi is having to work pretty hard to keep Lorenzo at bay.
Rossi seems to be hitting the deck more frequently as of late (maybe that's just my impression).

Lorenzo is just a youngster, if he doesn't get hurt too much, he'll learn quite a lot from Rossi.
He doesn't have a fine feel for where the 'edge' is, so goes over it more often.

I think Stoner's hand is still not 100%, and with his virus/fatigue/overtraining, his docs advised he rest up and get better.
But with him out, Lorenzo's in worse shape.

While all this may be true, Rossi's getting a big head lately. And everyone seems to be following.
9/10 of the info posted about the other riders on this page is...
from Rossi?

Now there's an objective opinion.  laughingdp

Don't get me wrong, Rossi is mighty mighty. Dan Rather, he ain't.

I think the best champions know how to be modest, they know their record speaks for itself.

Didn't sound to me like he was gloating anyway. What he said is the truth.

I never said it makes a champion, just that modesty is a quality of the champs I admire most.

I agree for the most part I never get that impression, I guess that's why the last quote seemed maybe not gloating but somewhat out of his normal character.

Rossi is champ. For sure. My point is, he's not a particularly neutral source of opinio
