Michnus quoted me in "jou Ma" in a fashion that reflected what I have heard expressed by quite a few motorcyclists. I am referring to the statement by some that Rossi brought Yamaha fame by developing winning racebikes for the firm. This is rather incorrect, as Yamaha actually supplied Rossi with a bike so good that he won it's 1st GP on it.
Another point is that Yamaha has been winning GP's and world titles before Valentino was born.
Niggling misconseption that I felt had to be cleared up.
