1. Suggesting that Rossi should have stayed at Ducati while riding that clunker is ridiculous. He proved his loyalty to the brand more than enough but don't expect such a talented rider to go down with the ship. I'm sure VW will sort the bike out sooner or later but more likely later as the Panigalle is already recalling their bikes and reviews are not as fantastic as expected.

2. Those ruling Rossi out because of his age should recall the thread I started long ago about Josh Hayes (no longer in his prime age) and his participation as a temp rider for Yamaha Monster MotoGP bike last year. I recall some one saying I hope he does not kill himself. Well the man proved everybody wrong riding the bike and track for the first time he came in Sixth! I'm sure Rossi will prove all his detractors wrong, so much talent will probably age but when his 60.
