People mocking the greatest rider of all time.
He had to drop off eventually. It is a combination of things IMO, they can't get their head around the bike, Rossi simply isn't as quick as he was but I also believe Rossi does not want to ride around problems anymore either. Altogether he is a weaker rider than he was, combined with a woeful bike and some great young talent on good machinery.
It was always going to happen someday, but I for one would be terribly sad if Rossi bowed out like this. He has given most of us a lot of fun.
