Obviously Rossi enjoyed the fact that the WRC king, Loeb, was saying this, and apparently showed interest in Loebs suggestions.
    Rossi might like to surprise but I'm sure Citroen won't want to have an unexperienced driver who has showed no promise in their works team.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.
    Visca Catalunya!

    If Alonso had won every race series he had ever competed in as he climbed the career ladder and then DOMINATED F1 as Rossi has then he might well consider it.
    Valentino is the greatest talent ever on a bike, it must get very boring that there is little challenge left for him. Even moving from THE best bikes to a losing team didnt' stop his progress for long

    I think they need to make an R1-engined Panda now.
