Stats tell a different story to Lorenzos .

Ok a little long but numbers don't lie
Rossi has been fed from silver spoons since the beginning. The best equipment. Fellow racers who pull off the line - in advance, so that he may easily pass them. F.I.M. "rules" that apply to everyone else - not him.
And yet... he whine's like a spoiled rich kid when relegated to the rest of the pack. Whhen his "endless" talent inevitably runs out atop a Ducati... Or when Stoner, Lorenzo or Marquez don't bow to his "kingdom".
113 wins. Yeah, if you combine EVERY WIN EVER. But to be fair, let's compare MotoGP apples to apples.
Rossi: 2002-present. 242 starts, but only 74 wins. That's 30.5%.
Plus he's achieved 154 podiums, 48 poles and garned 4013 pts.
Stoner: 2006-2012. He's won 38 out of 115 races, dead on 33%.
Plus he achieved 69 podiums, 39 poles and earned 1815 pts.
Jorge: 2008-present. Out of 138 starts he won 41 times. That's 29.7% of all the races he contested.
Plus he achieved 97 podiums, 35 poles, and earned 2367 pts.
Marquez: Just 2013-present. Out of JUST 57 starts he's won 26 times!!... Which equates to winning 45.6% of all races he's entered.
Plus he achieved 42 podiums, 32 poles and earned 1004 pts.
The numbers don't add up. Sure he's been in MotoGP a long time, but that doesn't make him great. His record doesn't prove it either. When you take into account all of his childishness, rule-breaking and threats if he doesn't have the best of everything, and top it all off with his pompous "I can do anything" attitude - except ride a Ducati, you find out that, at best - he's nothing more than average.
