They WERE on basically identical machinery. Of course Rossi gets the new stuff first; he's the number one rider because he's consistently the fastest.

Biaggi is a great rider, but he will always be a notch below the very best, and right now Rossi is the best.

You think whatever you want to think. Rossi is consistently faster than the others and a better racer as well. That's why he wins, not because he gets all the good stuff and the others are intentionally penalized.

I guess that's what this year is all about anyway. It will be exciting to see how he does on the Yamaha.
