Post tense,yes I do,the moment you have a sportsmen getting bigger than the sport you have a problem and thats what is going on now,Dorna are determined to keep him as long as possible becuase of the following he has,BUT nothing lasts forever not even Valentino Rossi.
He has been a great talent,I can go back as far as Hailwood,so I'd say the greatest talent I have ever seen,but that was then and this is now,Yamaha are using him,they haven't drafted him in because he's a great talent,they have already bought the 2013 championship with Lorenzo.
Rossi brings loads of money,thats his talent in 2013 and onwards,he obviously craves a swan song,if Stoner was riding in 2013 you could stake you house that he(Rossi) would get his nose pushed out,with Pedrosa on a new bike and Lorenzo,he should get on the podium,but time waits for no man.
Signit hit the nail on the head,'Many other greats have missed the correct exit point'
