Good insights from KR JR of all people.  Remember him?

Good article and interesting to hear about KRJR & Hopkins at Suzuki and how Hopper was willing to
push that bike to the max even if it meant tossing it away.
 
Goos article. I had never thought about the Barros angle but he is right. I do remember Barros winning those races on the Honda. Good development rider apparently.
I still question Rossi's mental ability right now. I think the broken leg messed him up. Then he watched a very good friend die right in front of him (literally) and he has been losing confidence with his finishes which only compounds the problem. Just a guess.
I said the same thing about James Stewart and look at him now....maybe the bike just doesn't suit him.
