I know I keep banging on about it but Rossi's will to win is extraordinary. He didn't need to go 10/10ths to outwit Gibenau to seal his World Championship a race early but he bloody well did. A fantastic last lap at Philip Island and passes where it wasn't normally 'on'. Jesus!

The poor Spaniard doesn't quite know what to make of it, and I'm sure that if his head was in better shape, he could have beaten Rossi this year.

Again, we have just witnessed some super special stuff from Rossi as we have done with Schumacher lately. That puts Rossi up with the all time greats. But no one has done back to back WCs on different bikes. Wow.
