my gripe with Schuey is the ugliness of the obvious chopping and "I didn't see him" sort of thing. It is precisely this that will always in my mind take away from his evident well rounded talents-pure speed, strategic thinking, team motivator etc etc.
As an ex-biker, again, its the barginess that rubs the wrong way. Time warp him back to the 60s, 70s or early 80s and while he probably would have been just a good, he wouldn't have been able to get away with thesame baloney. As for Rossi in any era, I believe the fellows seat of the pants talent would have had him on top anytime.
