Re: Ducati - Discussion...
Having now read many comments about the bad behaviour of certain fans at Donington with respect to Casey Stoner,(or rather the lack of it.) I have reached a solid conclusion on this issue.
Unfortunately the UK has a large amount of brain dead people who have simply over the years aligned themselves with Valentino Rossi and have brought the pathetic attitude as displayed by football fans to this great sport.
They are blinkered so much that their entire world revolves around how their man performs and nothing else. Never willing to consider the broader picture or the efforts,problems and results faced by other riders. Their actual knowledge generally of the sport I would guess is marginal. I mean if another guy is better than your own on the day,you simply have to live with it.The season is long and many things can happen. Would they expect all other runners to simply lay down for Rossi?
Rossi winning in front of foreign crowds where the home boys have truly had their asses kicked has been a common event,so what is it about these cave dwellers?
I guess when you have a figure like Valentino who does attract such massive following, there is always bound to be a percentage that he wished he did not have. For one thing that Valentino is for sure.....a true sportsman. He has played it hard and controversially at times but his essence is a fair but tough competitior. Just a pity more of his "fans" cannot learn from him.
