Im a huge fan of Rossi's and would love to see him back on form with an A-grade bike.... ...but.... greatest ever ? He still quite a way off matching Giacomo Agostini's race history... ...and even Rossi thinks that Mike Hailwood is a step above. .....To win numerous GP's, Honda, MV then back to Honda, (including 12 wins at the IOM Mountain circuit) .....To turn to car's and get on the podium in F1, and get the George Cross medal for draging another burning driver to safety. .....Even after retireing due to injurys and being paid NOT to race for anyone else, he came out of retirement 11 years later to claim another IOM TT victory. Rossi say's he's his idol, and I can see why. Personaly i'd say Rossi has the best record of any rider still in Moto-GP's. Personaly I hope this is a good year for him... well said Tony, everyone as there fav's, me personally admire and respect anyone that jumps onboard any two wheeled machine risking life and limb for our enjoyment
