After dueling 14-18 riders, some of which are on inferior equipment, and then going to a series with 28-34 entries on like equipment, fueled by the desire to prove their mettle side by side with his greatness...Wouldnt you be??

Yeah, God forbid the racers have any personality...

Rossi and Burgess brought a lot of meat to the table, seasoned to Rossi's tastes.

What's good for the goose, is not necessarily good for the gander.

Yeah, but that's old news.

Edwards drives me crazy. He's fast in practice, and fast in qualifying, but he can't hang in races anymore.

The boy was born to fade.

You've got to be kidding me? MotoGP has-beens like Biaggi and Haga kicked ass in WSBK and Vale won't cut the mustard?

Well, he'd be on far more equal equipment than he's been in a long time.

I never said he couldnt do it. Never. I said he wouldnt wanna do it.

First it would be like me going club racing in the novice yellow plate 600 class. Well below my times but you still have to enter turn one with 43 less skilled riders. Could be painful and expensive.

second he knows full well how famous he became racing to win, having every possible advantage pulling for him. Doesnt he think he might lose some of his legend, some of his shine?
