Good on Rossi for that one. I read somewhere that, in the 500 class, no one had previously won at Donnington who didn't start from one of the top 5 positions on the grid, so coming from 11th is quite a feat.
To answer the question: The only thing that could stop Rossi this year would be Rossi himself. Cliche, but true. He's won 5 of 8 races so far, and even in the other races, he was clearly the fastest man on the track.
People have been talking about Biaggi's post-race statements, but they're only surprising because of whose mouth they're coming from. Anybody who didn't realize that Rossi has been the fastest all year simply hasn't been paying attention.
