Valentino Rossi: a beaten man?

Valentino Rossi:

"'We'll need to find new motivations because we've already won everything,''Rossi, a five-time world champion, told Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport."

I think this is the first sign that he is beaten. When you talk about how you are satisfied with your achievements, you show the present is not that important to you. When you say you need new motivations when you are not even leading the championship as you so comfortably have done so in the past, you show you are beaten.

Casey Stoner, now is the time to play the very same game as Rossi has played on so many before him. Get into the press talk about someone else as your main rival. Talk about how you think other riders believe they can take it up to Rossi. Press home this psychological advantage. Remember: Rossi would break you like he broke Gibernau, Biaggi and any one else who tried to get on the same anthill. It's Karmic retribution, but it's also how this sport works.
