Yes, but when positive opinions are expressed by one?s peers (rather than negatives expressed by those distanced by a lack of knowledge or expertise), the positive opinions tend to be more valid and reliable?(e.g., Giacomo Agostini vs. ?Joe Bloggs?) :-:
but if every professional rider was asked to name the greatest ever, they wouldn't all give the same answer.
Well?er?he is a ?better-than-average? footballer?as any pub-team player will tell you?
My mistake I meant average professional footballer
But most Formula One drivers believe that Michael Schumacher is an exceptional racing driver to the extent that he may be considered as second only to Senna (F1 drivers vs. "Joe Bloggs"..) :-:
Much as I dislike schumacher I have to agree that he is an exceptional driver
Amazingly, Rossi has now won two World Championships on machinery that, only two years ago, was deemed to be inferior to the Honda V5? :neenaw:
I can't argue that Rossi is the best around at the moment, but to say that he is the greatest ever is an over statement, in 10 years time or so Rossi will be all but forgotten by many people.
...Really...we won't know who is "The Greatest of All Time" until the end of time...Will we...? :dunno: :beer:
DA
Even then we probably won't get to find out.
