Mind you Hatz has conveniently restricted his list of "Rossi's toughest competitors" to two riders, who between them have won only 1 race against him. The list of his toughest competitors should of course be Roberts and McCoy, the only two riders who have each won more races than Rossi in a single 500cc/MotoGP season. Nev.. '03 ZX12R
