Maybe he can stop being a Prima Donna now, and concentrate on his riding.

pfff... prima donna? :no

placing 4th damaged i think not... he did quite well for a rookie to the Moto GP IMO

Lorenzo has done very well in motogp, much better then anyone of late...... I know you dispise him jr, but you can't knock the results he has had.

Name one other rider that has taken pole on his first three starts in motogp?

JL seem descent, but I still haven't seen him do anything that even remotely makes my jaw drop to the floor like Rossi used to do back when he was in his prime.

More than likely JL is the next generation of MotoGP rider like Pedrobot, Stoner, etc, but I would be surprised if any of them turn out to be a Rossi.


Ride safe.

Thats just it. JL isn't in his premier class prime yet. He's a rookie. He took three poles and three podiums in his first three races. If he hadn't been injured I'm sure a 4th podium would have been had as well if not a win. Everyone acts like Rossi is old and past his prime. How old is he 28? 29? I don't really see that as old. Mladin is much older and has probably become better with age and experience. How about Rossi just isn't as dominant with the new bikes or... and I like this better, the competition is better.

agreed, but i suppose you can be cocky as long as you can back it up... and JL so far has done JUST THAT... the the podium every race, and 4th injured, and the pole position on the first three races of his rookie season.. :eek

i honeslty think that Rossi is complacent, watching old footage of him vs. new stuff is massive difference... the way he handles the bike is like night and day... seems like hes not really trying for the wins anymore, maybe JL will be a wakeup call and be a little teamate rivalry! :yahoo
