LOL...
Let me remind you that Nicky didn't have but 2 races last year where his bike was actually setup by his team the way he prefers it... Laguna & Assen. Why is this important? Because Rossi fans have tunnel vision and only see what happens to Rossi... somehow they assume everyone else's world is perfect therefore they suck...
The rest of the year Nicky had a bike plagues with clutch issues, one that once almost saw him flip the bike when he practiced his starts... And before you claim that he had the same bike as Rossi when he won on it, it was not. Neither was Pedrosa;s bike identical to Nicky. These are not production bikes...
In the end, Rossi crawled back 50 points to go into the final round with the points lead. With a little help from the Human torpedo. At the start of the race, Nicky set sail after the Ducatis while Rossi chokes on the start & bins it under pressure...
Nicky beat Rossi fair & square... he earned it.
