Video: Rossi's shadow is elongated

The title of the post is worth as a joke between us, and I hope that everyone takes it that way. Basically it is the summary of the race of the weekend in Misano, an excuse to talk about the Grand Prix. It is also that today I have been told that Valentino Rossi puts pressure even from afar, and I have not been able to remember how strange it seemed to see Stoner lose wheel at the beginning of the Grand Prix.
That's right, Rossi puts such pressure on his rivals for the mere fact of being him, that although I am called a ghost for this comment, not even the world champion supports the pressure … second race in a row. Didn't I say in the previous post that giving Rossi opportunities was risky? Well, take a 75 point advantage. Factors I've seen in this weekend's race:
- Rossi runs at home
- Stoner runs "at home", more for the brand than anything else
- A 50-point lead over Stoner gives a) Rossi a lot of morale to give it his all; b) extra pressure on Stoner because he knows about point a)
- Brno's slip is understandable, but at Misano you have to get it right: extra pressure for Stoner
The result: Casey Stoner comes out like a missile ready to open a hole, and even on top of it Rossi stays a bit, an ideal situation for Stoner if … he had not lost grip a few laps later, knocking the opportunity to cut Rossi by five points (or ten, whoever, even lose only 5 points), also giving him 25 at a time to give him the definitive advantage, with the moral blow that is to go to the ground in front of the countrymen of your maximum coconut in the world Cup…
I said it like that a bit veiled the other day, but the World Cup already has Rossi's signature, and the color… that he comes up with for the occasion. The advantage now seems excessive to me for someone with so much psychological power-yamahero. And yes, I admit that I am very much on Rossi's side, but I like to see that the bad results crisis that was attributed to him was… a lie. That yes, I feel sorry for Stoner because I think he is a great pilot, and that there is something there for him to be failing so much. It may be pressure, or it may be mechanical failures that we cannot know, who knows.
