As much as I grew up watching Rossi, I think he spent five years too long sadly.

It's like when watching Jordan in a Wizards uniform.

He brought character and color to MotoGP. His skills in his prime were leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else. Towards the end he did become a little less likable but you still can't take away what that man did for the sport or on the track.
