    Anthony who?

    I don't think too many will be taking notice of his words. Sour grapes fermented by dope!

    Given his dues, was a good rider at times and did show glimmers of hope. Stuffed it for himself though. No good trying to heap blame on home life and those better than him. Some would say: 'Time to grow up.'

    Getting caught twice for taking illegal drugs is never going to be good for anyone’s career, but to then start mud slinging is really not going to help.
    He’s clearly in a bad space but he not helping himself

    Great rider in his day and you have to feel a little bit sorry for him as when the word 'doping' gets brought into it....... Things aren't always as they seem..... Its career ruining. Same could happen to Iannone for all we know and all for eating a steroid filled prawn!!!!

    If Rossi rides for Petronas, will his long term plan be to manage them when he hangs up his leathers?

    Does anyone think Rossi will ride past the 2020 season?

    I think he will, but not that he should.

    I am hoping he uses the 2020 season as a sort of farewell tour and goes out with at least one win. However, if I know how the competitive spirit works, if he scores a win (or heaven forbid, more), he will think he should continue. He could ride well into his 50's..lol

    My feeling is that if he's still enjoying it and getting the rides he'll maybe carry on.
    He doesn't need the money....he's become iconic already....so what a great way for him to continue to get the buzz even if he's not getting the podiums as before. His fan base would happily wave him on for ever :)

    I personally think Rossi will compete this season and then I'd like to see him start his own VR46 team. There is talk of him taking a Petronas ride along side Luca Marini next year but who knows!

    If you blow up the picture you can see he's signing for a plate of chips and a lollipop.
