So by saying he will have to share "equal" bikes with 5 others, does that
mean his bike is a cut above the rest this season? That's what I think
anyway, Rossi is a brilliant rider, quite possibly, even probably the best,
but he's always had the bike advantage so it's hard to make a fair judgment.
But as long as he rides for the official HRC team I think his bike always
will be just that bit better, but that's all it takes. (If his bike is only
0.2 secs faster than the rival Hondas per lap that's 4 secs in a 20 lap race
and that's the margin he wins by, only subtle but enough).
