Is that what Rossi said? Someone posted a video from MotoGP.com that had a bunch of shots of his tire. Michelin

Yeah but still...he said halfway through the race he felt he could push the bike more once it wore down than he could earlier on when it had full tread....and he was pushing it so hard with the chatter going on....chunk..."where's part of t3h tire?"

Oh I've never counted him out....but if his current luck continues, he's never going to be a threat to that final podium. I want the bad luck to go away....not because I favor Rossi, but because I favor a good race and if he were within the top 3 of any of these last few races, they would have been that much better. If thats even possible for the races to get better.
