Holly shit! What a shame, I will miss the excitement that he has brought to our sport. I hope he enjoys a happy and prosperous retirement with his new wife.
The article is actually very funny. This line made me crack up. Remember the "Saturday night specials" he used to get? "As development adviser for Bridgestone, Rossi considered he should have been given preferential treatment with special overnight tyres, as he had with Michelin. When it was revealed that ALL factory riders were given the same choice of tyres for Qatar's race a heated argument ensued that could be heard downstairs in the corporate carpark."
I wonder how many people got April Fooled? Great one by motogp and I would suspect that this was the brain child of Rossi himself...
