I guess Rossi doesn't give a crap anymore. 🤨
Yes, it's a little sad to see the effects of age take their toll.
In a sport like MotoGP the difference between being on the podium, and not, is razor edge. Marc Marquez's recent "incident" is a prime example of how if you are not at your absolute 100+% it can make the difference between an almost guaranteed champion, and a rider that may finish mid-field or lower.
As has been stated many times recently, Rossi hasn't slowed down but the younger crowd has sped up, and Rossi has realized that at his way-past-normal-retirement-age he cannot catch up.
.
Well......life goes on.
The ebbing of physical prowess, reflex, along with the mental realization of certain conquense for certain actions, it is undeniable.
But, all is not lost my friends.
Not many a man realizes, and uses, the tools one acquires with age.
To be able to rise thru the ranks, and achieve as a rider the things he has, is remarkable.
Even more so is what he has envisioned, and built, and appears to be ready to take to another whole level, as an owner, is just as remarkable.
Plus, he's a multi millionaire, with a killer yacht, and a smoking girlfriend that wants to make babies.
Yes my friends, all is not lost.
