I hadn't thought of the Duc as having the potential to demolish a rider's career so effectively.

it's been doing that handily since 2008.

It's a long season and I had said top 5. The way he road today might convince me top 3.

I also don't recall me giving a crap!   laughingdp

(I honestly thought he'd do top 10 and secretly hoped for top 3, but never bothered to post any of that...)

My point exactly. People seem to forget that I am a HUGE Rossi fanboy. But Casey, during his time in MotoGP was most definitely a threat to Rossi's dominance. Of course Vale was going to come out on top anyway but that doesn't mean Casey wasn't a flippin' beast in his own right.

IN the short term view.. this seems comparable. But being the GOAT means consistency and LONGEVITY. No one has got those 2 covered like rossi. Some are just brief flashes thats burn out quickly. Like a hit record.. one hit wonder. Theyre gone, and no one remembers who they were.

For the record.. i predicated top 5 on September 11, 2012.  He surpassed by wildest dreams. 2nd place.. holy sh1t.. he is the goat! 
wiw, almost 70 percent believe he will ride into the top 5 on his first yamaha ride. I feel the same way.
