Nine-time world champion now looks at how far behind the leader he finishes instead of what position (http://www.sportrider.com/news/146_12010_valentino_rossi_reduced_to_counting_seconds_behind_leader_at_motegi/)MOTEGI, JAPAN, OCT 14 – It has come to this: Ducati Marlboro’s Valentino Rossi, the nine-time world champion, was quibbling over whether he’d finished 24, 25, or 26 seconds behind race winner Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda) in the Japanese Grand Prix.
Asked about his seventh place finish, 26 seconds in arrears, he said, “No, 24 or 25…24, ah 26, f--- 26. Twenty-six, yeah, 26.” The question was whether this was a reality check following his second place in the San Marino Grand Prix, where Rossi finished 4.398 seconds behind Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo at Motegi. The Misano race was an aberration. In the following Aragon Grand Prix he was down in ninth and 44 seconds behind Repsol Honda’s Dani Pedrosa.
