Proper racing....

Road racing is far better IMO

short circuits people can truly be outrageous and live to tell the tale whereas road circuits demand a different mentality and respect so i can appreciate both. For me the NW200 is the ultimate tale of heroism however there is no denying Rossi would whoop all of them however he would only do it once as he pushes the limits sometimes and the roads change too much for consistency like he has.

I dont think rossi would whoop them...not on the same bikes anyway.

Totally agree! I just cant get interested in any type of circuit racing. A lot more respect for the Road Racers compared to the likes of Moto GP riders etc.

I see Moto GP riders as more athletes, highly tuned men sitting on the starting grid with fans down their leathers so they dont get too hot :rolleyes:

The grid size in moto gp is to small and with rossi out the fan base has shrunken.

Rossi wouldnt considering he rode the TT last year and said he didnt have the balls for road-racing...!

I love both road and circuit racing you cant compare either, both require a massive amount of skill in their own rights, other than road racers born with massive balls!

You could probably count on your hands how many riders have been successful at both, and on current spec bikes I cant think of anyone who is top of the class at both.

+1 , each have their own skills and can't be compared

I like both. Started off watching circuit racing but have gradually grown to love road racing equally. I wish there was more coverage of road racing though - circuit racing hogs all the press.
