Is Valentino Rossi's dominance of MotoGP boring you?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's bored with Rossi, but this year I predict a new champ.There are so many people who have a shot at the title this year but I'm hoping Nicky Hayden pulls it off.

I'm a Jenson Button fan and I'm disappointed on what I saw last weekend.\n\nFrom the start and the first curve, Button just guarded Alonso in several overtaking attempts. The Renault power is pulling the 1 and 2 cars and not the drivers' skills. Renault's acceleration is the best and there's no doubt about it last season and the 3 races so far this season.\n\nI hope I don't see this bragging foolish Spaniard in the podium again. But stil don't count out Kimi Raikonnen. He's hungrier than ever.

You may not have been around during the moonballing era at the French Open, but that was surely the most boring of times.\nAs for today, the big matches are still exciting, but perhaps less so than a decade or two ago. The big difference, in my view, has nothing to do with your premise about modeling and acting, however, or about their focus. The big difference is twofold: first, players have converged on a single style of play with minor variations. That style is the power baseline, power serve game. No more McEnroes, Edbergs, Navritolovas. This means that we are usually watching less interesting tactical matchups.\nSecond, there are few of the intense rivalries of before. We had McEnroe vs. Conners vs. Borg; Graf vs. Seles; Evert vs. Navratilova; Agassi vs. Sampras. Right now we are missing the enduring rivalries, although I don't see that as a permanent situation.\nSo, on the whole, I agree that tennis is slightly less exciting than early, bur for different reasons.

I'd like to think so! To be fair I think hayden deserved the title in the end but you would write rossi off at your peril! Rossi has already said that his Yamaha is not good enough for next season but he is a master of the mind games needed to win.\nThere is no doubt that Rossi is the greatest motorcycle racer of all time and I am sure he see's the motogp title as rightfully his. He will do everything he can to get HIS title back but I expect it to be a close run thing again. I certainly won't be placing any bets!

He is, I don't think he deserves that formula 1 seat, there are so many better drivers than him around, ie. Pizzonia. I don't think he will improve much and I think he's taking someone else's seat in F1 because let's be honest, he isn't a great driver.

He is the Mozart of MotoGP.\n\nIt is like watching someone that is the definition of greatness plying his trade.  \n\nI've not long been a MotoGP fan, but after watching him race the last 4 years, I have become a big fan.  He is awesome.  \n\nHe is charismatic and brazen enough to make everyone smile, and I have little doubt that he was born to be what he is today.

Hell, to the, Yeah - I'm interested.  I Tivo MotoGP and AMA.  Here's why:\n\n1) It's hella more exciting than Nascar on an oval track.  2) Seeing Rossi come from 16th and pass 15 guys!\n3) Going 180+ mph into a 1st gear hairpin!  \n4) Watching the AMA guys run the same California Speedway track I (try to) ride but 30 seconds faster!\n5) The umbrella girls!\n6) The telemetry showing gears and braking/accel!\n\nYeah the last race I saw Rossi's ECU apparently came unplugged or something and the bike shut down.  I think the time or so before that he had a tire problem.  \n\nI am really enjoying each race coming down to any of a few riders each time - Melandri, Caparossi, Rossi, Hayden, Pedrosa.  I think it's more exciting than seeing Spies take AMA 6x in a row.

Road Racing, isn't that another name for Motogp?

I don't think Jacques Villeneuve will stay with BMW/Sauber, they really didn't want him in the first place.  I think he's proven that he can still be quick.  I just think he's ruffling too many feathers, and has burned too many bridges.  Plus I'm sure BMW is looking for a big name free agent or a top driver from the GP2 ranks.\n\nI don't believe that Jacques will be in a position to win.  I think he still has the ability, however, there are only 6 cars on three teams that can will a GP straight up, and I don't think he'll get a seat in one.

Yeah, I was rooting for Italy, but my allegiances almost shifted with them making the goal for the other team and then Di Rossi's display. It's that Latin heat that got juiced when they screwed up.\nIn general, it was an all around disturbing game from many aspects, including the ref, etc. But yes, I agree with you that his behavior lacked class and sportsmanship.

Actually it was a specially-modified BMW-Sauber that Alessandro (please don't refer to him as Alex) Zanardi drove at Valencia on the weekend and the whole episode was designed more for publicity, a photo op and a bit of a courtesy to Zanardi rather than a legitimate test.\nYou won't see him back racing in Formula One and for a number of reasons, including the fact that wearing prostheses prevents him for exiting an F1 car within the prescribed time limit.\nI think he's happy driving touring cars and he did finish ninth recently at Macau (in the second race), driving a  BMW 320si, just 10 seconds behind the winner.

Valentino Rossi, Motorcycle Racer \n\nBorn: 16 February 1979 \nBirthplace: Urbino, Italy \nBest Known As: "The Doctor," Italian MotoGP World Champion 2001-2005 \nItalian motorcycle racer Valentino Rossi won seven World Championships in Grand Prix racing by the time he was 26 years old, cementing his place as one of the sport's heroes. Rossi is the son of 1970s racer Graziano Rossi, and he began racing as a teenager, first with karts, then with minimotos (minibikes). In his second season racing in the Grand Prix 125cc class, he won his first World Championship (1997). Rossi moved up to the 250cc class and, in his second season, won the World Championship in 1999. He then moved up to the 500cc class, racing for Honda, and won the World Championship in 2001. Since then he has won the revised MotoGP World Championship in 2002 and 2003 with Honda, and in 2004 and 2005 with Yamaha. Charismatic, cocky and talented, he is a crowd favorite who went from being known as a clownish upstart to being dubbed "The Doctor" for his calculated and precise way of out-racing opponents.\n\nRossi wears the number 46 when he races, the same number his father used.

Ya, I too agree u that this guy don't manage things well. Infact Bernie ecclestone is the real manager of f1.Mosely didn't play any key role after the indianapolis fiasco where the fans expected him to do something. And anyway i he managed things well the other teams would not have taken a decision to start a different championship in 2008.

First and foremost, I am not a girl.\n\nSome female friends I have that watches Moto GP enjoys it because of the "adrenaline rush" and "need for speed".\n\nI myself watch it because it is fun to see motorbike crashes, which I can clearly state that the crashes there is one of the most dangerous in racing world. You can slide down the track and unluckily ran over by a biker or bikers.\n\nI'm just waiting Valentino Rossi to suit up in Ferrari at F1.
