While I agree it's not an apples to apples comparison, Agostini raced against those w/o traction control or electronics, so the playing field was level in that respect, and Rossi raced against guys using the same hardware as he in terms of traction control/electronics. So for there own perspective eras I can't say they had a competitive advantage over their peers other than their own skills.

For the record I don't like the use of traction control or electronics I like it old school but if I was piloting one of those monsters are the circuit I'd most likely feel different.
